The widest influence for good is what Theta asks of me, so I look to my immediate sphere of influence and that's where I start.

I find it problematic and puzzling that many people who consider themselves Christians are both judging and judgmental. I thought that was one of the main teachings of Jesus Christ - don't judge, forgive, turn the other cheek. Maybe I misunderstood.

Do not kid yourselves or feel superior (addressed to those for whom that shoe fits). It could just as easily have been a Theta, an AOII, a Tri Delta - name any other sorority. Alcohol plus sleep deprivation plus indiscriminate use of technology pluls a whole host of other factors = human failures.

Yes Mary Poppins I'm still tilting at windmills.

It's not a fun feeling to be made to feel unwelcome, especially when you were super-excited about being somewhere or achieving some goal. Good luck to them and I hope they quickly find those sisters in the chapter who will make them truly feel like part of the Chi Omega family.
