it is sad to hear some of the comments on this board although i respect everyone's right to an opinion. I agree with the Iota member he made very valid points, but at this point i am really just concerned that my organization doesn't get sued out of exsistence by someone whom we didn't choose to put on line and they ended up calling nationals, or because of some crazy soror (just being real) who gets her kicks out of beating on her fellow black sisters.
it is true that some people do not have any love for members after 90 or those who didn't get to pledge, or chose not to do so. so if you are thinking of going greek, THINK AGAIN because I have seen grown people act a fool over this topic. I wish they would have more concern for the struggling inner city youths or the chapter meeting they are not attending again this month. i do think it rather hypocritical to say you will uphold the frat/soror and then in the next breath break all the governing rules, i guess some people are just that selfish. but i've learned that a fool will not listen to reason, oh well.
i have seen the divisiveness that is going on and it is heartbreaking. but my solution is to work in my chapter to do what is right, and that is to make strong members, build sisterhood (the right way)and to work for the community which is our goal (some of us) perhaps if i had been beaten to a bloody pulp and humiliated while on line i would be bitter too, and want to bring the wrath on others that come after me, but that wasn't the case.
Mip has some flaws, but at least those who go through it are following the direction given by our organizations and i can't help but to respect someone who in the face of adversity does what is right, rather then to follow the crowd and people please. i find it hard to respect someone who spends their life judging others instead of using their energy to do the work they said they would do when they first saw the light. i hope that every greek that is so adamant about this topic is also adamant about getting their check to nationals this coming year so they can really make a difference where it counts.
how would you feel if a frat/soror didn't respect or show you love because you were not made at alpha chapter, or at a HBCU or on the east coast or in a chapter chartered by a founder? think about it.
are sorors/frat whose chapters are being reinstated after a suspension (and wanted to pledge) and have no current members to pledge them, are they considered paper too? is it their fault the members before them got suspended? or should we just not take any new members in those chapters, heck let them stay inactive. active chapters vs paper, hmmmm.
