Actually, I don't (and I know epchick doesn't) sit around talking trash on other sororities because I have RESPECT for all the national GLOs out there...don't try and assume that everyone on here understands how disrespectful you are to other military organizations while trying to say it is in "good fun" because it isn't. It is rude and as former military I find it offensive!
How is it that I can go up to a Marine who is a perfect stranger, talk trash about there service organization, and yeah he may talk trash back, but they wouldnt get as offended as you have? There is such a thing as Intercomponent rivalry. And just because your family has a diverse military background doesnt mean it doesnt exist. It does. Why do you think Army v Navy is the most storied rivalrys in college football? Its because there is Intercomponent rivalry, enough said.

Lastly, Just because you respect GLO's doesnt mean you dont gossip about them. You cannot sit there and say you have not gossiped about somebody else.

I hope you are not a member of a fraternity because generally I have respect for many of the fraternity men I have met. You, on the other hand, seem like a douche. Please stop posting your rude comments about the military and about those (like guard and reservists) who are apparently below you.
lol... Ive decided im not going to listen to you. Sure I might offend some people. But hey, no two people have the same beliefs or views, so im pretty sure someone down the road might get offended.

Lastly, i have never said anything rude about the military, i never said that the guard was beneath me. You keep thinking that i do. So, stop assuming that part. If i truly believed they were beneath me, why on earth would i have joined the Guard?


And too epchick, what do you know about the 82nd? besides what you can google?
