Unfortunately, many of your sisters did not keep that in mind when they appeared on Sorority Life. The only experience with DZO that the vast majority of GC has is due to that. Your sorority wasn't presented in the most favorable light, and that is what people are judging you on and are taking issue with. You seem to be upset that people are taking issue with your sorority. However, one thing you should know about GC is that you will never get everyone to see your point of view (unless, of course, your POV is that a certain poster is batshit, in which case most everyone will back you on it). If you are unprepared or unwilling to take criticisms, don't post in a public message board.

Fine critisized the right chapter then, I have no problem with any issues that others may have. I just really hate it when people clog threads with the dont listen to that poster because "their opinion is baseless because the belong to xyz/abc" or "they cant spell so their opinions dont mean anything" and so on.

When did I say that your opinion was crap? Look, let's say the chapter of AB sorority at your school hazes badly or just generally has a bad reputation on your campus. If you randomly meet someone from work, camp, church, etc. who is AB not from your school, aren't your first thoughts going to be "oh but you aren't anything like them," or "why AB?" or something pertaining to AB's reputation on your campus? Well it's the same thing with DZO. You only have two chapters, one of which is notorious. It doesn't matter that the girls on Sorority Life all graduated. DZO's reputation precedes itself. When people hear DZO, they automatically think of Sorority Life.

I didn't say that you said that I am saying that that is what is going on in some of these threads.
