Read This (All GCers Welcome)

[AlphaFrog]

I am Jess and I am an alumna member of the closed Beta Kappa chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. I came to Greek Chat for the first time to seek help for our dying chapter as people who have been around awhile remember from last Dec/Jan. I divulged that we were having problems with numbers and such, information that any person on this campus with 2 eyes and ears have easily found out. Many of the GC people here helped with ideas, moral support, etc. Over time and through being with GC for awhile, I started to get to know some of the GCers from ASA and other orginizations alike. Spesfically 33girl, James, AOIIAlum, and many others have become great people to talk to for support, suggestions, or a laugh.

Through the months I have been on GC I have posted on many forums over many topics. Never once did I reveal any ASA secrets as some people have accused (check with 33girl, she'll verify). I also stand accused of posting threads that do not represent ASA in a postive way. Just about every member of GC represents a Greek Letter Org. whether it be one of the 26 NPCs, NIC, IFC, NPHC, Multicultural, Professional, Local. Topics are brought up such as kissing, sex, drinking, etc. and many people from many orginizations participate in these topics. I see my posts as no more unpositive then any of these, and even if people in that thread disagree with whatever's being discussed I don't think people look to their GLO and pass judgement, they know it is their opinion as an individual.

And about posting about my personal life...I have been alive for 20 years, I have been an ASA for 1 year, and while I will continue to be an ASA for the rest of my life, for right now, ASA has been just a moment in my life compared to 20 years. I have done things in my teenage years that I am not proud of that do not represnt ASA, but I feel that if I wish to discuss these things in a post, I have a right to. Also, for those of you who would take the time to get to know me before you reply with sharp tounge, you would know about my past and what happened to me before ASA.

For my sisters who would pass judgement on me: You have a right to think and express what you want and I have the responsibilty of listening, but I do no have the responsibility of agreeing. If you think what I discuss on here is not appropriate, you have the right to your opinion, but let me just say that for every one of your opinions, there are many out there on these boards that oppose your opinons. The only way a site like this works is if people are free to express their opinoins. Otherwise we might just as well all have our national presidents be the only ones allowed to post and have each post voted on by council before it is posted.

I am a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha, and I'm very proud of it. I am also a member of GreekChat.com, the best Greek site on the web.
