much respect...
*sigh* unfortunately doing the lock ins, the b**tchin sessions, the begging, the pleading may not end the "weak link" situation.
some people refuse to be united. our own communities inside and outside of greek life can attest to that.
a long time ago i posed a similar question to my mother and her sorority sister. she replied some good old fashioned wood would get everyone in shape. of course in these days of MIP this would be an appalling statement.
so what to do?
ultimately maybe its up to the Big Sisters to make the issue much more threatening tha a line sister ever could. the threat of there being no line might bring out the unity in the group. and then again it might not.
if this was a business and there were breakdowns in the group dynamics there would be reviews, probation, then termination of those involved. teaching how a team is supposed to function would seem to be part of the pledging process.
my first instinct would be to politely communicate, my next instinct would be to
not be so polite in my communication, my third instinct would be...well...my line sisters and i would by any means neccessary have to make sure that the "weakest link" was the strongest by the end.
peace
