Interesting. A lot of people are attacking you for this view...but go into the Sorority Recruitment forum and you'll see people saying a hundred times over that "people join sororities for the people, not for the motto/ideals/philanthropy".

So, by that standard, it's perfectly acceptable to not consider your founders or other chapter's members a part of your organization - you did not join for them, you joined for the people who were in it at your time.

It just strikes me as interesting because people are getting all upset over this, but yet why does it matter how someone feels towards his nationals if people are going to say it's only the people that matter?

..I hope that made sense.
