Ummm... thanks for everyone's comments.
Hey AOX! LOL! Calm down darlin! You know I'm with you! Don't worry so much
I guess it's different on my campus, perhaps because we were founded over 100 years ago, but we in no way have to ever go national. We are the oldest sorority in Wisconsin, and I would like to say the most respected on our campus. I suppose part of it with our campus is that the oldest fraternity and sorority (mine) on campus are both the only locals. Our university is in a small town, and a lot of town and university officials are alumnae of our two chapters. E.G. The landlords, lawyers, town jugde, policemen and women, principal of high school, local brewery, pubs, and resturant owners, and the old chancellor! So, perhaps, that's why we don't get crap from our university or the nationals.
I guess locals vary from campus to campus. Also, we share many of the same ideas, and practices of nationals (not to say hazing
). Also, my sorority is part of NPC! I'm actually a member of the panhellenic e-board on my campus. So, perhaps every campus runs differently. Also, I didn't mean to diss nationals if I did! Sorry guys! I realize the stong points behind being part of a national organization. But I am also proud to say I am part of an organization that is one of a kind - the only chapter in the world. And when I run into someone wearing my letters, I KNOW they know the same songs as me, sat in the same house as me, and went through the same rituals as me. I am D*MN PROUD!!!
