Hi, Cream - yes our new members vote, attend chapter meetings, and ALL chapter functions, etc. They are allowed to hold offices immediately (if there is a vacant one) and they participate in every event as a full sister. Like I said - the only exception is that they do not know ritual. I have been with AXO for 8 years now, and even during my new member days, this was the way things were. I know of other sororities who also allow their new members the same rights and privileges, so I wouldn't say that this is unique for us. Hope that helps explain it for you - thanks for asking

James, I was referring to Serenity's post (page 3) where it was stated:
"You're so proud and overjoyed to make snide and bitchy comments with your letters in your screen name. I hope you don't think it's going unnoticed."
*Disclaimer - yes, Serenity signs her name with her letters - I wasn't saying that to her* - I was saying to others who are fully participating in this thread and calling me and others out for making statements and then saying (paraphrased) "you think you're so high and mighty because of your letters" that I have NEVER hidden behind my letters and that while I am a proud member of AXO, I am not saying that my statements are necessarily the opinion of AXO Inc. So that was the whole purpose of my comment before.
Observant1 - ooooo - you better knock that sarcasm off before the Tri-P's (Pity Party Police) come and arrest you for not allowing sufficient "oh poor Sigmas" and "those poor poor girls" to be represented in your post
ChiDeltJen - you say using "chick" is a Sacramento thing, and that you call EVERYONE "chick" -- how do your female professors like that? I mean surely you must say in your classes with female professors "Excuse me CHICK, but could you explain that theory to me?" I just wondered how that went over with them. And if that's the case, I guess that its perfectly alright for me to call people "Retardos" if I just tell them afterward that that's what I call EVERYBODY and its a Southern thing. BUT - on the other hand, if I call out people who have totally SCREWED up with something in a VERY public manner, then it ISN'T okay?? Hmmm - perhaps you could explain this logic to me. OH, RIGHT - I just figured it out....I don't AGREE with you so therefore it is OKAY for you to say what you want, but obviously NOT okay for me -- now I'm getting it. Thanks for clarifying!
And for the record, yes my sisterhood
IS so awesome and I am VERY proud of that -- BUT, wow, imagine this....not EVERY school is PRO-GREEK -- dang - go figure. Now how can that be? Which means that EVERY org on campus works three times as hard to get women to join. Not that none of us are worth anything, but that you can't recruit people who aren't there!!
And I totally disagree with you and others on the believing in TV issue -- did you see the "Rosie Special - For the Kids" where Rosie O'Donnell came out as a lesbian?? Do you believe THAT was real? Or did she just do it for the cameras? WE all watch TV and believe AT LEAST SOME PART of things we see. Otherwise, we wouldn't believe that there is a WAR going on right now. Did you see the Daniel Pearl tapes where the captors had him and in the next scene he was dead?? Do you NOT believe that those people killed him? I mean come on, we ARE after all, only seeing ONE side of the story. According to your reasoning, we should just as likely assume that Daniel Pearl killed some of their men while off camera!!
librasoul22 -- TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE....
Bottom line...worry less about what others think, and more about yourself."
Cashmere and KDDani - you two are at risk of arrest by the Tri-P's as well....you need to work on your pity techniques
OH - and the post about "not judging people if you haven't walked in their shoes" -- again, I have never met Charles Manson, much less tried his shoes on (are they allowed shoes in prison or just those paper thingy's?) -- but I have NO desire to do either and I can still sit here and say that that man (in my opinion) is the devil himself at work. I have NO pity for him and wish that someone would have been smart enough to kill his sorry behind in the same manner that he killed others. I have also NEVER walked in the shoes of the terrorists who were responsible for 9-11, but I say that a thousand deaths isn't enough for them, and that there is a special place in Hell for them that at this moment I hope they are getting the full benefit from.
So do you feel differently, since technically NONE of us have walked in their shoes (at least I hope not - unless you are a secret terrorist using this site to gain details on how to derail the greek system or something)? Just a thought to ponder...
