If you were a legacy, would you tell?

If your blood sister was an AKA perp would you tell or would you let my Sorors think she was real?

Have you ever thought about perping? What made you decide against it?

In your own words, what is the difference between a necessity and a luxury?

If you have to ask what the "right" reason is for joining an organization, should you even be thinking about joining?

What, if any, is the advantage of doing community service in a group as opposed to doing it alone?

#1 Again, discretion is subjective. Where it is ridiculous to post your name, school, etc on the internet or blab all over campus & whatnot, or shout from the rooftops about your org of interest, how is telling your sister/mom not being discreet? Discretion should be an issue of common sense. Hell, posting on this danggone board is not being discreet for real... secret societies demand discretion b/c they don't want their rituals, secrets, dirty laundry to become public knowledge. Of course they would look for individuals who would know how to keep their mouths shut.

#2 Not really, it would depend on the situation. If I were point blank asked, then I would probably respond with the truth. I wouldn't volunteer that info though.

#3 My sister is her own person, she will get caught eventually. I'll let the AKA's handle that.

#4 No, that's fake.

#5 Necessity: things to keep me alive, sane & grounded. Luxury: things that keep me living fabulous, extremely sane & totally spoiled.

#6 yeah...why not? Everyone does not arrive at the same time. Just b/c you question yourself on why do such a thing, does not mean that it should never happen. Asking honest, thought provoking questions should happen.

#7 The advantages are numbers & more PR to the community about the activity.
