wptw, you're right, there is a line. That line that is drawn is that as an initiated member of Delta Phi Epsilon, I have been taught the ritual, ideals,values, principles, and whatever other words you want to throw in there to denote the important stuff. New members are learning the history and traditions, etc. and following the new member program so that they understand what the sorority is all about and what is expected of them as members of the sorority. When the new member program is complete, they are initiated and the line between us disappears, because we all understand and agree to live the life of Delta Phi Epsilon sisters....that, to me, is how new members and initiates are separated.

I respect that others have different viewpoints and ideas as to what makes a new member different from a sister. AXPGoBot, don't claim to know the way my sorority or anyone else's GLO runs because of a simple choice of allowing NMs to wear letters. Maybe your anger on this subject lies in your own fraternity, but it's unfair to tell those of us who follow this policy that we're a mockery.
