Hmmm....maybe you should come to my campus and talk to the XO ladies about what kind of hell they go through during recruitment (formal and informal) because of a totally mis-guided website by some of GC's resident psychos!! And its not just on my campus -- its other places where XO is - you'll read for yourself on these boards where PNM's, daughters of greeks, etc. are at campuses with XO and they all want to know if the stuff described on that website is for real -- and we all KNOW its not true!! You don't have to be a XO to know that that website is full of lies. The point of the matter remains that its VERY hard (if not impossible) to undo the negative stuff -- EVEN if it is completely false to begin with!
I am glad that you are proud of your values -- I am not trying to take that away from you. I am simply shaking my head and wishing that SOMEBODY would have thought about this before they went through with it. Notice the headline of that article I posted...did it say "SIGMA Life" - honestly, did it? You tell me what it said and what groups that word GENERALIZES!
Apparantly from all the commercials, SOMEBODY is saying stuff! And I'm sorry, but how you can stand by and let the words "house full of them" in references to BITCHES be something that you are proud of?? That doesn't show ANY kind of values to me.....but then again, (as I'm fond of saying on here) my momma taught me better.
As for those of us being accused of "kicking them while they are down" -- I think of it more like this:
You lay down with dogs - you get up with FLEAS! (Just another momma-ism from AXO Alum) -- I care too much about my organization and my sisters than to go and let my chapter screw themselves into something like this.
Cash - thanks - you are the kind of SISTER that I am SO proud to call mine
