Gamma Chi was created, as I understand it, to be the next step in greek solidarity. Yes, that is a gross oversimplification, but it was one of the aspects I picked up from the spattering of posts I've read.
And now look at what has happened.
No offense to anyone on either side, but this squabble over GC has gotten, well absurd. We already have enough house infighting. Enough insults, and worries. No, I don't place the blame on GC, as it wasn't being forced on everyone(except in propaganda to anyone on these boards), but nor do I blame those that will be labed PGC for now, as I also belive they have a right to their opinion. But here is my suggestion.
PGC, let GC be. To be honest, I do not support GC, but I have let it be. It will not effect me in any noticable way if I do not worry myself over it.
GC, Though the ideals are good, I belive it is an unnessasary thing. But, I see no reason not to continue if you can get the support.
To the both of you, I'd say as members of GC/PGC, stop communicating. As members of said sides. Go back to being part of the GLO's you joined. I have an inate distrust and distaste for dual membership as it is. especially when you include such things as membership rituals, wearing letters, etc. But I shall not push that on others. Were this a war, and I was thrown in, to take sides, I would have to place myself over on the PGC side, just because of my belief on the premisie of GC and some of its planned things--rituals, etc.
Idealy, lets go back to our roots. We all have our houses. Mine being Sigma Nu. I am a Sigma Nu. I am also GREEK. Members of GC--perhaps try getting greekchat to unify greeks before making a small group of unified greeks, that some will take to be elite. Personaly, I'd also stay away from the ritual, letters, and "pledging." Members of PGC, if you don't like it, stay away from it. avoid the GC posts, and you won't have to worry or bother with it anymore.
GC can still attempt its full foundation as the first coed, internet, um. GLO.
And the rest of us can just be Greeks from our houses.
