If you are going to post publically than you need to expect support and criticism. Not everyone shares your beliefs, opinions, or experiences. If you believe in what you are blogging, don't erase it, don't change it, stand tall. Erasing or changing something you have written as your experience/opinion (right or wrong), only strengthens your oppositions stance (unless, you are stating something that is against policy for a Sorority or NPC).

Example:
You stated, Do not miss a day of rush. It doesn’t matter if you have class or other obligations, rush is priority number one and if you can’t make that exception for one day, then you probably don’t have the time to join a sorority anyway. The world will not end if you miss one day of class.

OTW stated, Um, no. This is terrible advice. At some campuses, PNMs are IMMEDIATELY DROPPED from recruitment if it's discovered that they missed a class to attend recruitment events.

Though I rarely disagree with OTW (her statement is correct); the flip side unfortunately is at many of the campuses I am familiar with a PNMs chances are reduced if they miss a recruitment party (no one in the chapter will tell you officially that is the case, but when you have a substantial number of PNMs, a chapter can vote on the girls they meet, instead of taking chances on someone they have not met).

If someone disagrees with you, they can start their own blog. That said, coming into the lion’s den and attempting to explain yourself (if you get upset by the opposite opinion) is only going to make you more upset
