Ginger is making a lot of valid points.
I come from a very small chapter, where nearly everybody is from a suburb of the two major cities in Wisconsin, or another one of the suburbs. When I joined, three of the girls in my pledge class were from the same town as an active sister, another went to high school with an active sister, and the rest of the girls were from neighboring suburbs of Madison. We know where these girls are from and how they grew up, and we know they aren't/weren't part of gangs. Gangs did not exist in the towns where we grew up. You can spew all you want about how there are white gangs, and maybe there are, but not out here in BFE, Wisconsin.
If, for whatever reason, some girl had been a member of a gang, and lied to us about it, her membership would likely be terminated. I don't care if you made mistakes in our youth, I think that reflects poorly on you as a member. There are opportunities I will be denied in life because of poor choices I made, and that's something you have to deal with.
