Stealing?

The whole basis of this thread people trying to defend the ease of their process by juxtaposing it to the worst case scenario of those drwonings (which have nothing to do with a legitimate pledge process).

You really think this is the basis of this thread?

Be proud of your process. Never told you not to be. But indicticting people as stupid, dumb, weak minded individuals looking to be abused, indicts everyone who became a member pre-1990. Again. my whole argument is based on a frame of reference.

If it were 2002, any of that 4 could have gotten a million $ today. Thing was, back then, there was no culture of lawsuits, and those that got seriously hurt had their bills paid and thats it. You couldn't get rich simply by some bruised buttocks and a bruised ego.

Re culture: that's the way it is TODAY! That's why we have the pre-90 post -90 drama...
So, since that is the mindset of MANY individuals, do you not think changes should be made to reflect the culture? Are you willing to pay for these lawsuits/settlements?

Yeah, dinosaurs are extinct, but its better than being a CAT anyday. I don't embrace any of this new greek bull-ish. Y'all can have all these split-line, drop diming, backdoor sneaking, weekend made, callin', handsignin', my ish smell so good cuz I got 3 letters, livin' to step and stroll, "I didn't pledge but I'm active", non-tradition repsecting, I'll make it up as I go along Greeks. Its cool, I know ,y place and I'm happy with it.

So, if one didn't "pledge" does that mean that they do not respect tradition or are they just ethical, law abiding citizens or what?
I know many whose process wasn't like mine or other members of my org ( I don't know the format of other organizations
), but they give respect to those who came before and such. Should they feel less because of something they have no control of?
I know I wouldn't. (Bump ya'll!
)
