Here lately, I have seen several schools participate in an event know as "Switch Day" On this day, each organization acts as another organization. This is suppose to be all in fun but I can't seem to find the punchline if you know what I mean. For the record, I am TOTALLY against it. I've heard all the convo's about UNITY and the like. But I think this takes it too far!
How do you feel about this event?
Would you EVER participate?
Note: Other org's do not wear your symbols-- they just wear your colors. And they are allowed to "act" like your org. I think this just leads to MORE stereotypes and disrespect.

If a non-greek (but an observer with LOT of respect
) may weigh in; the closest I've seen to a "Switch Day is when some of the organizations pay tribute to other organizations by doing their steps in a step show. Usually it is done with class and the REAL members of that organization do their call after or during that performance.
If I were ever fortunate enough to be in a BGLO organization; I would have to say no, I would not participate. My top three reasons why are as follows:
3. I don't know if I can picture a guy doing a sorority's call... I don't think most guys have voices that hit that high.
2. Imagine doing this and you meet all of the "sister"friends of the particular organization you are supposedly "switching" with? It completely throws discretion and adds confussion
1. On the subject of "sister"friends, one might think that if a member of a BGLO got to switch and be an organization for a day; then that will mean that if I don't make my first BGLO of choice, I should be allowed to move on to my second **
That's all I can think of. If the post is deemed disrespectful, I will delete it as that is not my intent.

**For the record,
I for on only have ONE path; but being on this side, I have seen with my own two eyes people who have tried to go one way... but when they didn't make it they went another
