I may think some of the policies of AXO and DST are dumb or plain wrong. But guess what? Its really not for me to "speak on" and to attempt to do so in public is plainly in poor taste.
My suggestion to the sidechatters concerned with what the "Jones" are doing is to find a new hobby or better yet focus your attention on more important things...like community service.
As for the lifetime membership reference, when you can say you have been ACTIVE and financial for 10 plus consecutive years, then you will have a better idea of what it actually means to be a member for life. Lets be honest, more than half of the current collegiate Greek community will become inactive after graduation.
Using the "membership for life" tag has not kept the Greek community 100% active and financial in the NPHC, NIC, IFC, NPC or any other group. And trying to use "the membership for life" tag as a means to dissuade others from seeking membership in an organization that speaks to one's heart at "the moment" is a waste of time. People join fraternities and sororities for a hosts of reasons. Sometimes the reasons are silly. But the interesting thing is some of those members who "appeared to be " joining for all of the "wrong" reasons later become some of the most valuable players on the team.

I quoted the entire thing because I totally agree with what Finer Woman said. People are human and their actions can disappoint us. I don't think it's fair to not allow someone to pledge something else if they truly want sisterhood and service and they dont feel the old sorority is living up to its goals. I know with our sorority you are free to join something else if it is not for you. My question is why would you want someone to stay in your org. if you knew they no longer wanted to be a part of it?
