Endroad,
I think you are trying to say that because the other groups were founded on days that happen to be before the 15th that they were trying to "one up" another organization. Hello, come on now..................... everyone knows that January 15th, 1908 came before January 13th, 1913.
.................................................. .................................................. .....
Virtuous,
That is exactly what I was trying to ask. I did not mean for it to seem like I was putting anyone down. I felt my question was really legitmate due to the way the Founder's dates are arranged ignoring the years. I do not use the phrase "One Up" but that is the way I see it. The orgs on my campus even seem to try and do this to each other all the time both sororities and fraternities.
Thank you for summarizing my intent.
To Everyone....
As for face to face interaction, I have had this conversation, but my personal friendships are very important to me and when I saw that the greeks I asked ALSO seemed to be uncomfortable with this topic I just dropped it to save bond.
Now I felt that I could receive an inpersonal answer here without hurt feelings. I guess I was wrong because one of the two PMs I did receive was just horrible.
It was recommended that I apologize. I am willing to do so on the grounds that I had hoped you all would not take it so harshly.
Therefore to the women of Delta Sigma Theta who took my post as an insult to yourselves personally or your organization, my apologies that was not my intent.
