Sorry if I sounded overly harsh...I know that the "in-charge" people only have our best interests at heart, but sometimes I think we are too cautious about some things. Someone saw one thing one time she didn't like, complained, and it gets banned.
If you really feel that things like that are harming your campus relations, take it up with your standards advisor or your district facilitator. Part of our new structure is trying to get more sisters involved and that includes collegians too. In the meantime, try to foster better Panhellenic relations...maybe suggest a progressive dinner or something like that (go from house to house for each course). By the way, I saw y'all's house at the 2000 convention and it is adorable!
