First, I would like to give respect to anyone that had the heart to become greek (regardless of how). But, I do understand the animosity stemming from the differences of the way some becomes a member. However, I do not believe anyone should be criticized. Once you become a member (i.e. family) of a greek organization, you are just that . . . family. A brother or sister. Not a step-sister or step-brother so to speak. I am not greek, but I am seeking my membership through grad chapter. And I have definitely been "told" about how I should have pledged. I have my reasons just like everyone else does. I however, have faith and trust in the greek community and believe that regardless of how someone is admitted that person is thoroughly investigated. To criticize because of the way they were admitted only criticizes the organizations. Why? If someone is paper or pledge . . . you . . . the greek still has to make the final decision as to whether that person becomes part of your family.
