This topic hit home for me in a way. Somewhat from the other side though.
My chapter was a local as were 2 of the other 3 sororities on campus. We all take a lot of pride in our history, over 100 years in some cases! BUT I think there is a fine line here when it comes to locals becoming national ogrs. It's ok to have pride in what you were but it should not hinder you from becoming the new org you have agreed to be. Often times my sisters and I think it would still be cool to be our local but know we love Zeta and what it stands for more than anything else. There are other goups on our campus though that we know still carry out MANY of the traditions and activities that their local did and get away with it which really bothers us. For goodness sake get your XYZ stuff out of your living room since you're ABC now! Grrr
As much as I feel for these girls...I don't know...it just seems like they wanted a hand in each pot and you can't do that. They want to sing a special Chi Omega song but still do stuff their local did?? They sound confused. Exactly how I was with many life decisions at 18.
