Why wasn't everyone satisfied with the Adelphean Society? I mean it was for women right? What you need more? Ok fine, why didn't we stop with Kappa Alpha Theta, the first greek letter society for women? Wait, wasn't Pi Beta Phi in there too? Well shoot we have at least three now, what more do you people want. Oh a "Sorority" well fine.. lets add Gamma Phi Beta into the mix. There that should satisfy every single need you have.
What, it doesn't?
Fine.. look lets make it say... 26. Now you couldn't possibly want anything else.... What? Ok fine and lets add 4 more who'll make up part of the NPHC. FINALLY Done! What? you want... locals? and multiculturals and latino GLOS and religious based?
Ok, sounds alright by me.
Ok, long way to make my point, but what I'm trying to say is that every woman should have a chance to find her home. Questioning the legitimacy of this sorority, which seems well thought out and financed, is not much different than questioning the legitimacy of every woman's secret society that follows the first. By this logic we'd all be ADPis or Adelpheans (if they kept their name, there wouldn't be any other sororities to influence the change at all) There's a difference in the ideals of Delta Gamma and Kappa Delta and Sigma Kappa and Chi Omega and Alpha Kappa Alpha and Gamma Gamma Chi. But it's OK.
*phew*

Cheers to this. It disheartens me a bit when people, especially in the Locals forum, discourage new sororities from forming on the basis of "there's good ones allready out there". Perhaps it is because my own sorority fought that rhetoric to be founded and refounded...and even to stay. People say things like, "oh XYZ sorority is so small, why do they even bother"...well, because that sisterhood is something special to those girls.
I hope Gamma Gamma Chi brings the same happiness to her new members that Tau Delta has brought to me.
Good luck, ladies.
