Tom, DO NOT put DeltAlum and LXAAlum in the same category as yourself and Conard. They share their wisdom and experiences, yet they do not patronize or otherwise offend other GCers. Their posts are always clear and understandable, and they tend not to say anything if it isn't relevant to the issue at hand. As a result, they are among the most respected GC posters.
You two, on the other hand, may have good things to say, but they are overshadowed by offensive speech (DO NOT blame your age on this; my grandparents are into their 80s and know the difference between offensive speech and inoffensive, even in this PC time), patronizing terms (women's sororities ARE not "girls' societies," they do not refer to younger GCers as "honey" or "sweetie,") and the like. We are all appreciative of the work that alumni/alumnae do for our chapters; for that we are ALL very grateful and no doubt give our alums the utmost respect. But respect, like so much in life, is earned and not simply granted because you may have pledged years earlier. The fact that so much of what you say borderlines on misogyny and bigotry is neither here nor there for this conversation, but it just adds to the reasons why so many of us wish we could ignore moderators.
In other words, DeltAlum and LXAAlum have earned our respect; you and Conard have not.
