I was thinking about how many different types of GLOs there are, and their different roles. Which led me to start this discussion: if you chose one type of org instead of another (like NPC instead of NPHC; local instead of national; professional instead of social) why did you choose your type of org?
SAI turned out to be the perfect fit for me. I always wanted to be in a sorority, but when I found out how much NPC orgs' dues are, I knew I couldn't afford it. So, I chose SAI instead because not only can I afford the dues (only a small reason for choosing SAI), but I loved the thought of having all my sisters be musicians, since I am a music major. And the smaller chapter size (as compared to NPC) really appealed to me. And the idea of everything being related to music and promoting it was a huge draw for me. And honestly, it's the perfect fit for me. NPC orgs are wonderful, but I think I wouldn't have been as happy in one.
And no name calling/insulting/flaming. Just friendly discussion.
I mean, one kind of greek org isn't better than another; we're ALL Greek, we just have different roles.Quite honestly, the reason there are so many different types of GLOs is because our respective founders saw a need that wasn't being fulfilled by the existing kinds. For instance, SAI was founded basically to promote sisterly bonds among female musicians and give us a support network in our profession and our lives.
