When I post here, I'm representing AEPhi - all the more so because there are so few AEPhi's who post here. I'm very cognizant of that, so I try not to make nasty comments just for the sake of being nasty, or anything like that. (I wasn't so careful in my early GC days, but lately I'm trying to really watch what I say.)
At the same time, I'm also representing myself. I've posted on such topics as my favorite beer, mixed drink, my stance on abortion, etc. I hope it's clear from the tone of those posts that they're my opinions, not AEPhi's. Unlike greeklawgirl, I can't just turn my signature off... my affiliation is right there in my username.
So, I agree to some extent with PM_Mama and to some extent with Laura. Each of us represents ourselves, but each of us who chooses to make our affiliation known also represents our org. It's not one or the other - it's both.
