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.

Lifesaver, I agree 100% with every single word you've typed here.
That was the most heartbreaking thing for us - to realize that the vows we took the night of initiation meant absolutely nothing to the so-called leadership of our organization. In my mind, those idiots are NOT my sisters. They proved over and over again that they do not share the values that I hold dear as representing Alpha Xi Delta.
