Opinions on para in public
I have just become a part of a new list serve that focuses on sorors, and for the past day or so we have been discussing a very controversial subject. It is affectionately titled 'To drink or not to drink with paraphernalia on'. We have stretched that to be 'go to parties and casinos where liquor is being served'. Sorors please let me know what you think or maybe what you have been told by your prophytes (<-sp.) Many sorors are referring to a spoken promise that you should not wear our colors, letter, or Badge (para) when out with friends at a bar, club, casino. I have a slight problem with this because they are saying it is not respectful, well everything I do is done respectfully to not only myself but to my lord, my family and then AKA. So, if I am not out getting sloppy drunk, and dancing wild then I want to know what the problem is. I feel that when I wear my colors (para) I am representing my sorority very highly. Are people trying to say AKA's don't drink or gamble sensibly or maybe that we don't know how. Please let me know how you feel about this. I am just concerned because I like to represent and if another AKA comes over to me and tells me it is wrong then I am not sure what I would do or how I will react - mind you it is not written in any of our history.
Lastly, our undergrads give parties and the themes usually center around your Greek letters - I, of course was once an undergrad I know what goes on at those parties - so what's up with that, and what about our golden sorors that out of all respect go to Casinos (WITH PARA ON) to past time and have fun....holla at me on this one sorors!
