My Responses
2D, although this thread is old, I think that this is a VERY good topic for SFs of any org., especially considering the type of ish that's been happening lately. I look forward to reading the responses of others.
Anyhow:
1. Did you decide upon your organization of choice PRIOR to visiting GC?
Yes, I believe I found GC through a different website. However, my mind was made up PRIOR to joining GC.
2. Would you let the views or beliefs of one sway your interest to another organization?
No. When I decided that I would like to learn more, and perhaps become a member, I looked at all four sororities before deciding which sorority would suit me best.
3. Would you let the tactics of another (member or non-member) sway your decision to become a member of an organization you really had no interest in?
Again, no. I do not think that this would be in anyone's (mine, the members, or the org.) best interest. Why would I want to join an organization in which I could not be 100% committed to, simply because of WHO is a member.
4. Do you think that you would be offended if someone came to you so that you could become a member of their organization when you have clearly decided that you want to become a member of another organization?
It would depend on how they came at me. The first time I would not be offended. Perhaps that member sees qualities in me that she believes could be beneficial to the org. I would politely decline and let her know of my preference. If it continued past this, yes, I would be offended, since I have clearly stated that I am uninterested.
5. What does the notion that someone would try to deliberately sway your intent say about that person?
I don't think that the person is wrong. As stated, she must see certain characteristics that could help her org. or that would make me a desirable and possibly potential member. Again, this would vary from person to person, depending on the situation.
6. Would you find fault with the organization as a whole or only the person?
No, I would not find fault with the org. The only way I could find fault with the person is if the person has bad intentions with trying to sway my intent.
7. What does that say, if anything about the person who tries to get you to follow her into her organization when that isn't really what you want to do?
Either the person has genuine love for the interest of her sorority or that something is amiss with this person.
8. Ultimately, what kind of person would you be to succumb and follow when you know that isn't what you want to do?
Someone who is a follower and not a leader. I would be a shallow person, because I would simply be attempting to gain letters only, and not SISTERHOOD.
9. Could you look yourself in the mirror?
No, because I would have let myself down, and I am not that type of person.
10. What does that say (if it says anything) about your integrity?
That my integrity is LACKING.
