"I do not define who I am, nor am I judged by where I go to school or what social orginizations I belong to"
Except when you bother to list your University affiliation in your screenname, right?
"I'm not in, nor would I ever consider joining any part of the greek system"
And you're only defined by the social organizations that you DON'T belong to, right?
"I have friends in sororities, I know what goes on."
Ye, GADS! Please, someone...... A lilttle help here? Next, she's going to go on about how she doesn't wan't to be part of an org. that circle's their pledges fat!
"The whole "aggie pride" thing that goes on at A&M i know nothing about"
Good. Let's keep it that way. You had me worried for a minute there. The last thing I wanted to see on GC was a self righteous GDI with an agenda using an A&M affiliation as an identifiying mark.
"Take a step outside of your situation and see what other "outsiders" see and you may understand what I was getting at. "
Been there, done that! Truth is, I was a non-member for the first three years of my collegiate experience. Delta Zeta and A&M's AMAZING greek system have been in my heart since Day 1. And remember, ALL of us were non-members at one point.
"people outside know what goes on, even though there are attempts to conceal it, people know"
If you're really going to go there, you'd better start giving some HARD evidence. 'Cause right about now you sound like a jilted, UNINFORMED, ignorant person making vague allusions that refer to nothing in particular and MAKE NO DEFENDABLE POINT!
"the point was that the attempts at "defending dignity and honor" were not done correctly"
Well, fill us in will you? Oh ye bastion of moral integrity?
Once again, it seems like you're spending an awful lot of time worrying about issues and people that you'll never have to deal with. The only people who worry about the supposed "status" that those 2 or 3 letters might or might not give a person are those not wearing them.
