Of course I love my DST. I'm not an AKA or a Zeta or a SGRho for a reason. My love for Delta does not include disdain of or disrespect toward the other three organizations. I was not taught that. I did not, and do not, teach that. You will not hear me say, nor will I think that I cannot & will not hang out with someone JUST BECAUSE she is a AKA/Zeta/SGRho.

It has no place in a converation of that type.

I don't see why. We all know our own histories and traditions. No one's history is better than another's.

As I commented earlier, are we suddenly privy to everyone's processes? Do we all suddenly know what everyone's selection pool was? Were we there for the chapter's discussion & vote? Are we getting documents saying who was rejected from what? I highly doubt it. Without that information, we are unqualified to make such sweeping generalizations. TRUE, there are SOME CASES where someone was rejected from one org, acceptied in another and is now hating on the org that rejected them. But that CANNOT be the source of ALL the hostility. If it is, then maybe we do need to publish lists of who was rejected & distribute them.

I've said my piece on that one. I've never been more embarassed in my life as I was when that conversation was taking place.
