I was just reading through old threads and I'm disheartened to see my sorority displayed in such a negative and false light. I'm in the chapter that MaggieAXiD is talking about being the "Christian" sorority, and I was one of the 17 women who joined AXO that year. The reason we had such a hard time recruiting is that Alpha Chi just came to campus that fall and were the only sorority without a house. Also, they were brand new, and a lot of girls wanted houses with local traditions. And all the talk about Alpha Chi talking about God and Jesus all the time is completely false. Only two of the new members that year were members of IV (the Christian org. on campus), and nothing in recruitment is religious at all. If anyone did say anything about religion, it was just one person. No one I talked to ever heard anything like that.
Sorry, I know a lot of this is irrelevant, but I just hate to see my chapter talked about when the claims are false! Alpha Chi has done so well at Elon, COBing up to quota in 2002 and getting quota plus during formal recruitment in 2003. We've won Homecoming and Pumpkinfest.
So I guess the moral of the story is don't talk bad about other organizations... how about a little Panhellenic spirit here?
