I could not agree with ilovemyglo more. We aren't little kids, we are adults and should be treated as such. It's like when parents are really strict on their children and the children not only don't learn anything that is going to stick, they don't listen to the parents and begin to resent the things they do, good and bad. I have heard of that sort of thing happen with IHQ in the past, where a chapter just gets fed up with so many ridiculous rules, so they stop telling IHQ things IHQ doesn't want to hear and sneak around behind their back. Sound like any friends you knew back in HS? It does to me. I also completely agree with the paddles, I mean really how many ppl see paddles and think "gee 60 yrs ago, greeks used to use those!" Nobody that I know. They are a piece of history that nobody uses to paddle anyone anymore and they sit on our walls and look nice and make us happy that we have something special to being greek, like a paddle. I am also more that a little annoyed that it is taken IHQ so long to update the website. I am really happy that it is being done, but a lot of it is not that hard to quickly update. There is no reason it should take 2 years to do from start to finish and there is no reason they can't update as they go and make these little rennovations as they go. I needed a number for someone specific at IHQ b/c I needed to deal with a specific issue and it wasn't even on there. Now that is something you can fix. Sorry, I am tired and crabby. UMGirl, I was 1/2 tempted to stop by today b/c I had like 3 hours free and I was already down in A2 for work, but I didn't know if you would be home. I'll try to stop by sometime this week tho!
