Just would like to know you opinion

[Betarulz!]

1) You're caring far too much about people's opinion over the internet.

2) If your school is requiring you to be a part of these councils, then youre playing by the rules, and while I think there is something inherently wrong about the rules, I can't blame you for that. Great example of hating the game, not the playa.

3) Congratulations on your accomplishments.

4) #1 lesson of Greek Chat, every campus is very different. People very often forget that, even those of us who have been here a long time.

5) This arguement hits on a far bigger issue than just your presidency. There have been many massive threads on whether service organizations such as APO should even be considered "real" greeks. What it has often come down to is what is it like on your campus. Again that is something that varies. At my campus, and many other large state schools (and even a lot of small private ones), groups like APO are no more greek than the pre-med club, or the mock trial team. Therefore it seems ridiculous to me that youre required to be a part of any sort of inter-greek council. But that's neither here nor there. As I've said, your campus has a much different setup than mine.

6) This arguement also hits on the issue of gender, and how single gender entities function in this time of political correctness and discrimination lawsuits, sexual harrassment and so on and so forth. People are not mad at you for running for IFC president, but more the idea of a women leading a group that is supposed to be an all-male governing body...

7)Dont' get started with the fraternity nomenclature. Most sororities are officially fraternities, so that point is moot.

8)Finally, personally, I don't think it's right for you to be in a position of power over men's social fraternities. The issues that they deal with are much different than the ones sororities have to deal with, which are both different than the issues your chapter, being co-ed, has to deal with. How different? Well on your campus, they may actually be pretty similar, but your campus seems to be an exception, but on many other campuses, like mine, you as a member of APO and a woman could never be as an effective an advocate for the positions of fraternities as a member of a men's social fraternity.
