Being a name for a group is NOT enough.

ABSOLUTELY! I thought I was the only one that was sympathizing with the new KD's. It seems that throughout their history (however brief it was) they were always trying to make themselves and their organization better, what they had all wanted. It got to a point where they obviously couldn't do it all on their own. What did they have left to fight for?
As many women going into recruitment don't realize what a small piece of the complex organization they are. I sure didn't. I was like, "WOW! These girls are great. We have so much in common! They want me to be part of this group! WHY NOT!?" That's kind of the point to membership education, you learn how big it really is. To accuse these girls of disloyalty is a slight stretch, I think. They SAY the did everything they felt was in their scope to do, and I find it hard to believe that KD would have gone in flippantly trying to divide and conquer. They acted like true sisters, and tried to work unitedly under their KBG values, and it just didn't work.
I'm not mad at them...
Edited because Cht2f posted at the same time. If you look in the Delta Gamma forum, you'll see the list of all of our chapters. You'll notice that MANY of them started as a local (whether these locals had more than one chapter, I do not know). I do know that many of the chapters will integrate their previous traditions and history into the history of the new chapter. Hopefullly, these girls will do the same.
