when i was told that we wouldn't be allowed to wear letters, i was a lil pissed at first, but decided i had to do what was in the best interest of the chapter, whether i was an active or an alumna.

I understand what your saying, and I am not arguing with you, just at those at HQ who come up with crap like "out of respect for the new members and chapter" PHUCK THAT. Thats double speak for "we're embarrassed by you". What about the respect that all our members are afforded by the fact they are members? I will always respect a brother WAY before someone who MAY rush. And after they are new members, what does it matter what they think of the old alumni? If my org had EVER tried something like that, I'd have told them where they coudl stick it and I wouldnt wear letters only after they ripped them off my cold, dead, lifeless body.
I've often found when dealing with national orgs, my own included, our ideals, values, and word as an org is usually the LAST thing considered when making decisions. Maybe that's part of the problem facing all our orgs today....
Things seem to be changing, at least at my org. I welcome the change from 'business as usual.' I hope they're changing for everyone.
