Getting Disgusted...

[LexiKD]

ZTAngel: I agree with many of your points. Joining a sorority will not assure you that you will never make a mistake again. But it should help you make better choices. Not every member of every org. feels as if the values of that org. is the exact same as theirs...but you should at least be able to relate and for some they do feel that the values match and if you decide to join you have an obligation to attempt to not only do good for that org. but for yourself.

In this situation we can ask where is the article about their community service or GPA or anything else. But let's face it, we are in the spotlight b/c every article that shows how out of hand we are backs up every other article saying that we are binge drinking sexual aggressors.

Rapes happen everyday and my heart goes out to all. It only makes the papers if they can not only put blame on the person responsible but their org, and anyone around them as well. What I want to know is why was this women drinking so much, why was she drinking at a fraternity house(NPC resloution), and where were her friends during this? I am not putting blame on her, just saying that as women we need to watch what type of situation we are put in and what we allow ourselves to do and understand that we are responsible for our actions as much as anyone else, not forget them b/c we could be victims.

Both parties have tons to answer for and your right, it's not the best, but at least the national org. and local school will use them as an example and maybe that may aid in better decision making for the rest of the groups.

I just wish that for one moment we could all focus on the BIG PICTURE. Maybe then everyone could see the light.
