This is the last thing I'm going to say here. I'm sorry if anyone took my comments as mean spirited, but I take great issue with some statements that were made against an entire organization based on the comments of one person. That's unfair. And it riles me up a bit.
I agree that we should question our leaders. I question the leaders of my own GLO all the time. But, I do so in a respectful manner, neither insulting them or referring to them as the Village Idiot.
I continue to go back to the post pages ago where someone pointed out that we only have one side of this story.
If that is true, and we can agree on that, I have to question why it is a foregone conclusion that the GLO "screwed up."
Yes, G8ralphaxi is obviously very angry with her national organization. However, the rest of us have no clue what steps were taken or where the miscommunication occurred. We don't know that the national organization flat out said "you aren't wanted here - leave" or "thanks for the offer of your help but we've got it under control." Those are two different things. Granted they can be read the same way by the receiver, but that doesn't mean that the person saying it felt that the assistance offered was "inferior" or "embarrassing"...just not needed at that point in time.
For the national organization to tell the newest members that they can be a part of the colony and then renig on that - that's not cool. I have to wonder, however, knowing that I was a collegiate member who often heard what I wanted to hear instead of what was said whether or not this was yet another in a long line of miscommunication.
We don't know.

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.

I don't take issue with this thread. I take issue with the posts that blindly follow G8Ralphaxi in bashing her GLO and intimating that the inter/national officers of the organization are somehow evil cretins for doing what they think is in the best interests of their organization at the time.
