This is a tough one! I'm all for individuality, but since on GreekChat the only way most of us are known to each other is through our greek affiliation, I can see how our actions would reflect on our group.

For example, there are two members of a certain sorority who disagreed with my defending one of my sisters when one of them went off on something she said. They bombarded me with these obnoxious, delusional PM's to the point that I wrote one of them that I would have to contact her Nationals and tell them she was embarassing her sorority. I mean, some of the things they said to me! And their affiliation was obvious from their screennames. Now, since the only other (insert sorority name here) I had ever had much contact was my grandmother, I figured "Boy, have THEY gone downhill!" and just felt kind of disgusted toward the whole organization.

But the funny thing is I eventually had to contact the Moderator of their forum and ask her to tell them to shut their traps and the moderator was awesome! Very, very classy lady. And so were the five or six other members of the sorority who took the time to PM me and assure me that those two were NOT the norm.

I guess I made a short story long, but I think ones actions on here can definitely cause someone to form an opinion about an entire organization. Fairly, or not.
