Coleman Love to my Bruhs, Big OO-OOP to my Sorors...I guess my question or concern is how do we as Sorors, and Bruhs bridge the gap amongst ourselves? I mean, I PLEDGED alum chapter. Some of the processes might have changed in accordance with MIP but nonetheless, the things I keep hearing "old heads" saying they went through, I did too. And it hurts anytime someone (Soror or other Greek) consistently perpetuates the myth that those who cross through MIP are "not real" or "paper". I know this topic is probably discussed til people are blue in the face, but if we want progression collectively, we need to stand united in the BOND of Delta (Omega). Instead of making distinctions about who's real or not on the basis of intake, turn instead and look at who's financial. Look at who is still getting up at 5am for service projects and leading by example. Spend time trying to reactivate the inactive to the goals of our orgs. How do I feel about the MIP? I can only speak for what I experienced and I know that for a lifetime, my ls's and myself will be able to recall our shared trek to Deltahood and reflect on our humbling experiences. And that (as MasterCard states) is priceless. But if revamping the intake process is what it takes to get us on one accord as far as accepting one another as equals within our OWN orgs, I'm all for it, but I don't think that is as necessary as it is just for some to face the the wo(man) in the mirror and broaden their way of thinking. Just my .13 cents.
