Sure...........I see your point. By no means did I intend to imply that changing the pronoun solves the problem. It's just a start. Yes, you can keep the ol' pronoun and still accomplish the goal. I just don't think that (accomplishing the goal) can be done with hazing around. I agree that programming changes are needed from the inter/national level.
The challenge is that even when/if the HQs and Councils implement changes, that it takes a mindset to really impact change. That mindset has to be there from the organizational level to the chapter member level and everywhere in between.
Old habits die hard. There are many a HQs who have made the strong stand on hazing and have plenty of good programming to back it up, but still have scores of chapter members (and many alumni/ae) who think hazing serves a purpose. My "bottom line" comment was directed toward those members.
Open discussion............isn't it great?
