I haven't heard the old not playing cards or dancing thing in awhile...im baptist so thats why I smirked at that one. I personally believe that since becominga Sigma Chi 4 years ago that it has enhanced my religious beliefs and made me a better person in many ways. Even though i don't have anything against pre-marital sex, I am waiting till I am married to have sex. Mostly cause of religious reasons, but since im a health major there are other reasons as well. Never smoked, done drugs either. I don't get wasted every weekend like some brothers or other Fraternity people do either. I did for awhile when i was a NIB, but that got old after a year. Im definatly not a super greek, but I try to represent well as a Sigma Chi and that people who aren't greek can see that hey you can be a high minded man and a gentlemen just as well as someone who isn't greek. But yes I do make mistakes like everyone else does, but you can change your ways in order to represent your organization and yourself better. Yes I feel homosexuality is a sin and that every sin is a sin no matter what it is, but unlike changing your ways on drinking, smoking, drugs etc, you can't just say Hey, i think im going to stop being gay from today on cause you can't. And by living that kind of lifestyle goes against a lot of what Sigma Chi stands for. And yes a lot of GLO's are Judeo-Christian based, but how many portray that in their crests badges pledge pins etc??? Not many...i see daggers, skulls etc...not saying that there is anything wrong with those symbols, but a white cross says a lot when someone sees it, or as in our norman shield...the Cross of whom our badge reminds us(Christ). And I really don't see someone who is openly gay and flaunting their homosexuality with a white cross on their chest. You can repent and apologize for doing something detremental, but like I said you can't say, "Hey im sorry for being gay, I won't do it again." If you wanna be gay then hey man its your life and you can do it wheter I agree with it or not, but not as a Sigma Chi. I respect others who disagree, but A. your not a Sigma Chi, and B. I hope you respect mine in return.
