The policies are all there for women to access, many women just assume (although I'd think this would be hard to do in this day & age) that what your chapter does = what every chapter does. This came up with us recently with the new official mascot. MANY sisters thought that Raggedy Ann had been our official national mascot and were up in arms that she was being kicked to the curb. The fact of the matter is that RA was never official, just widely used. (If she'd been official we would have had all sorts of copyright usage issues.) It wasn't just the older alumnae though...it was women who have access to the internet, have had access throughout their college careers, and could see that there were quite a few chapters where RA wasn't even mentioned.

Not sarcastic but overly polite as I swerve in NPC lane.
That's really interesting to me and I don't assume that it is another one of those "difference between NPC and NPHC" things. Generally speaking, Sorors/chapters sometimes teach younger Sorors things that are not official. Younger Sorors assume that it is all official until they read Delta documents, meet Sorors from other chapters, attend official Delta meetings, etc. That reality check is inevitable and I advise Sorors to seek that reality check because ignorance of Delta does not excuse you from the wrath of Delta.
