I just wanted to say that for some people it is difficult for them to accept being admonished. It's kind of like when you were little and your mom caught you with your hands in the cookie jar right before dinner...Anyhow, others can absorb the info and take it all in stride...For example, I posted a new topic asking for advice on pledging, and referred to myself as "an aspiring soror". I didn't think that this would be considered offensive, since I did say that I was aspiring, i.e. hoping, wishing, etc. My forum was closed and I received an informative posting saying that I should not refer to another SF as "soror" until I become one...I was like, oh, okay. I mean I didn't know and now I do...I don't understand why someone would get indignant with someone who has something that they want and is somewhere that they want to be? I hope I haven't been too longwinded
Thanks for all the great info!!
