KappaKittyCat and Tom I may be VERY WRONG here, so feel free to correct me.
I honestly interpret Tom's post very different from others. What Tom was calling for us to do is EXACTLY what you DID KappaKitty!
He calls for us to not fear the problems and watch as we get weaker and weaker but to get out there and fight for members-you did. You have people on campus who want to see Greeks disappear. You are combating the problem. This is what he is asking us all to do.
You love what your sorority stands for as he loves LX. I don't see any chasm here. I see a meeting of the minds as we look at the bigger picture. It's this "bigger picture" that I THINK Tom is addressing. To change things, we MUST look at our OWN chapter and our own campus. If Panhellenic IS the problem (and inaction is as great a problem a too much interference) we, AS THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE UP THE SYSTEM, should take responsibility to correct the things we KNOW are wrong. That's my take, I may have read more into it, but your actions are what Tom would admire in ANY member of a GLO, I know I sure admire you!
Back on point. Even though there are indeed WONDERFUL Rho Chis-a single, bad apple can do so much harm to a sorority that given the right circumstances, that "harmed" sorority could feel the effects for years.
