I didn't meant to completely hi-jack that thread with the letters deal, and I don't want to ruin our little bitch-fest about Nicole planning the wedding and naming the kids (
) so I am bringing my hijack over here.
My only purpose in stating "Good lord - is AXO the only org that treats its new members as sisters" and "we are proud to show them off in letters" is that lately I have heard so much grumbling about older sisters not wanting to see non-initiates in letters.
If your national HQ says "no" -- then fine by me -- I ain't here to tell you how to run your business. But for AXO, Nationals says "YES -
New Members ARE sisters that simply do not yet know Ritual, and they deserve to wear letters like everyone else" -- that is our national take on it. And I think that we should all be abiding by what our national org says. Like I said -- if yours says "no" -- fine by me. But I've heard a lot of members of chapters saying "new members have to earn their letters" or whatever, knowing full well that their national council says new members CAN wear letters.
So sorry to hijack the important issues of DZO, but if you want to take it up, here is your very own soapbox forum....
