As on my first post I said "In fact an area facilitator just told our chapter that we arent having ENOUGH fun! We are too concerned with programs, volunteering, and being active in school we forgot about the social part! We learned we shouldnt have to miss out on fun just to impress everyone and dispel every stereotype." Our sisters haven't been able to get good grades because we have so many activities and things to do trying to be the best on campus that there is little time for anything else, even fun (which does not mean partying).
The point of my post was to say that one of us represents all of us. And if one person does something wrong, others generalize that all greeks act the same way. Just because some greeks act like idiots and dont know how to act mature and responsible when drinking doesnt mean that all greeks act like that. Its just one or two people who make a show of themselves and then everyone thinks all greeks act like this. This is why we need to be very careful when recruiting.

Listen at the end of the day it's about results. If your chapter has good grades, is big, does volunteer, and parties like none-other it's fine. Do whatever you want. I won't comment on what your area facilitator says or does because I don't know her, the situation, and don't care enough to speak for your organization.
People don't act out as individuals. The guys that drink, drink in a group. The guys that haze, haze in a group. If you don't care about what others do because it's only "individuals", then don't care about us "individuals" that care and want to lower our risk.
