i apologize
Okay people....I still think some of you are being a bit overreactive to my posts but I will explain my intentions of the posts that people are getting sand in their vaginas about.
1) The Great Eight Sororities- I read an article about them. I was not interested in ranking sororities as one being better than the other. I had heard of the Divine Nine before (although I did not know it was in reference to History Black Organizations...I thought it had to do with fraternities). I was wondering if the Great Eight was something everyone knew or if it was something someone had made up on his own merit.
2) Organization Stereotypes-I have read on here as someone saying they would only marry girls from certain organizations. I have heard some very negative things about an organization at my friend's school that is a very good organization at my school and I didn't want her to think of that organization as bad nationally because of her own thoughts of it. I also had a friend who told me a different organization was bad at her school, but knew that it was just confined to her school. I just get very tired of people who see letters and make a judgement right away. Just because they are great at your school doesn't mean they're all great at another school or vice versa or that all the members act the same. That is my greatest pet peeve.
3) the Search function- I have been a member at a certain forum for a long time. People get VERY irritated with new people who bring up topics from the dead. I felt it was inappropriate of me to post a topic that hasn't been touched for three years.
I do not mean to misrepresent my organization or myself. I still believe that many of you are a little too harsh on new people who do not know the "unspoken rules" of this forum. If people get so hostile about it, then possibly the unspoken rules should go on the front page so people like me will not end up hated by an entire forum.
