My two cents--
I've been known in the past to post some outrageous things but I am also a firm believer in personal opinions. Some things should not be posted in the public but rather in a PM. What is done behind the scenes and no one knows about is exactly that. If no one knows about it then it can't hurt you or your GLO.
There will always be that pesty someone who is a pacifist and whenever an Alpha individual ( Such as myself) expresses himself the only way he/she knows how, that person ( sometimes known as--Vagina) finds everything done by us, offensive.
And anyone else who ALWAYS finds my posts offensive regardless of the fact that their true.
I do believe to a certain degree that what we do reflects our GLO, but the actions of one do not reflect the actions of ALL. Therefore, what we do does not always reflect our GLO. I do agree that we should not bring shame to our letters but at the same time if we were all the same then we'd be a fraternity of clones no one would have their individualality.
Now here is the tricky part.....what you do DOES reflect what kind of chapter you are/were in.........My chapter of PiKA was quite different than the new chapter at UF. You are what you hang around. If you surround yourself with studs, then eventually you will be one too. If you are surrounded by morons and geeks, well, eventually you'll start to act like one. With that said my point has been proven. Ones actions might not reflect the GLO as a whole but it does reflect your chapter and the kind of character it has. If your chapter thinks your out of line and they think you do not represent the ideals and beliefs they rep., then more than likely you will be outta there.
Keep in mind every chapter has to have people who get things crazy and people who keep things calm....there has to be a balance in every chapter.......otherwise you'll probably get kicked off of campus like so many other fraternities have.
