At my campus, the campus where I was on KD House Corp and the campuses I've visited as a KD alumna it was not that way. GDI was derogatory, it was used by the Greeks, and it was not used by the independents themselves.
I already admitted to being an elitist. I don't think I have more class than everyone else though.
Show me one place where I made any negative implications about your sorority! I would NEVER insult Sigma Kappa!

A) That's not what you said. You said you'd never use it. I take people at their word.
B) They don't belong in the same sentence. That's like saying "I'll fight against those who say GDI just like I'll fight against Hitler" By saying this, you equate the two. Don't put them together and no one will call you out for it.
C) I'm not arguing that point. I acknowledge some places it's used negatively. You jumped into the conversation trying to make some sort of point about how it's always bad to say. What was my response? "It's always ok" or "It depends on campus culture." Thankfully you're finally coming around to my way of seeing things.
D) You imply that using GDI in any way is lower class than you by your statements. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't exude it from every word you type.
E) Oh, but implications about my standards are completely ok.
So you know, I would never use KD in an example of something I found offensive. I never brought your sorority into the discussion, but you had to bring mine up.
Also, you've made comments about the behavior of people on here reflecting on their GLOs. If you think MY standards are low, then you're implying, by your previous statement, that this reflects badly on SK and carries with it all sorts of other negatives.
As I said, you seem to finally be understanding that it has to do with campus culture, and perhaps you won't jump on the next poster to use it in a non-negative light or who suggests that it may not be the same everywhere.
