I applaud the Penn Phi Sigs for standing up for the integrity of their chapter. If your national came in and told you they were going to change everything that you love about your chapter, how many of you would accept that without a peep and say "it is for the good of the sorority" and move on? Especially if you are known as, and pride yourself in being, the group that doesn't live up to the stereotypes. They didn't want to be known as Phi Sigma Sigmas if the recolonized house would have been antithetical to everything they stood for.

No chapter failure is the fault of ONE facet of the group. It's the collegiates, alums, national, and the school's greek system COMBINED and not working together in positive ways that do it.

oh, and incidentally, nothing I've said is particular to PSS. It's a problem that happens in every national sorority.
