A few things
First of all I don't know why you are twisting around or changing, or perhaps just comprehending what I say wrong. When did I EVER say anything bad about the Jewish religion? Where are you getting this stuff from? And I never said I was an expert, I just wanted to point out that even though I am Jewish I also do not feel it's ok for us to discriminate against non-jews. Is there a problem with that? Do you have a problem with that? Why would anyone??????
Further, my father would try and educate me on things concerning the Jewish history, and I appreciate the values and facts I have learned. That is why I don't know why a people whom were discriminated so harshly by others would EVER EVER condone any type of discrimination to others. Can someone not be your sister/brother if they do not as you put it foster the jewish faith/ideals. Well sure they can. I have a lot of jewish sisters, but I also have african american sisters, Chinese sisters, catholic, etc. Whom I all love dearly and would have never known had I just "stuck to my own kind" persay. I guess it's somewhat personal preference as well. I have an open heart and an open mind. And I'm not going to say I am sorry for that.
I just don't understand what about my posts you don't agree at all with? What because I am putting down any sort of discrimination. Not even in greek life but everwhere. I know the world is not perfect and never will be, but I can do my part.
I am just having a really hard time understanding what exactly you don't agree with. All I am saying is it's not right to discriminate. And yes there are cultural GLO's and that is a beautiful thing, but maybe secular houses should fall under that category so girls would know where they stand. I know fraternity rush is a lot different, but I'm sorry as a male YOU are the one who has NO idea how a formal rush runs. Yes a lot, even most girls here know eachother before hand, from camp, or out. But what about those girls that rushed just for that fact. They did not know anyone and wanted to make friends. Little do they know anything about the certain cuts the groups are looking for at all. Maybe they love a group of girls but will never get that chance bc of religion. How is that right?
Oh and by the way I am also from NY, and what are you talking about a campus away? I'm confused about what you imply I am saying.
Oh and by the way I babysit at Temple for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur so thank you very much. I don't claim to be an expert at anything, well this at least, so don't put words into my mouth. I was born into a religion as most people are. I am not sure where that path will take me religious wise, I still have yet to fully seek out that aspect in my life, but that is my business.
So take of this as you will, but the only thing I ever said is that I don't believe in discrimination of any kind, and have opted not to for myself. If you want to keep putting words in my mouth or get angry because I wanted my GLO to be excatly that, a GLO with no religious affiliation or claim, for us to have our own rituals in common despite our different races and beliefs, so take me to court
