Hi yall...yet another Chi-O to speak her mind on this topic (lol)
First I would like a list (if possible) who is known as a sorority and who as a fraternity?
Secondly, Texas Alum: We too have the word fraternity mentioned in our songs and to be honest with ya, I've NEVER noticed a problem with it. I do agree with the vast majority...that it is representative to our heritage (Texas Alum) and I wouldn't want it to be changed at all!
Funny enough (and a little OFF the subject) my interpersonal communication class delt with the topic of gender language. It was almost unanimous when we discussed titles (such as mailman, policeman...) that the females prefered keeping the "man" portion of the title. Personally I agreed because I felt it more segregating and demeaning if I were to be called a mailwoman or policewoman. Perhaps this is opening a can of worms...but I think the same applies to why I like my GLO being a fraternity. I have nothing against "sorority" but in this day and age I'd be angered to hear about Nationals changing it to sorority. I suppose the same would apply if we were a sorority and then changing to fraternity (just to be politically correct).
Ahhh, what do you all think?!?!
