Conduct Becoming of A Sorority Girl

Yes. Thank you. That's what I'm saying. Don't confuse campus culture or etiquette with the values and aims written in your sorority's NATIONAL bylaws, or even your chapter bylaws for that matter. So many people come on here and say "we're not allowed to drink or smoke in letters" and then when they actually look in their chapter or national bylaws, voila, this "ironclad rule" is nowhere to be found. It's something more ambiguous like "present a good image." That varies WIDELY from place to place.

Do whatever you do on your campus, that's cool, but I think to be so severe as to call someone a "bad sister" if she doesn't follow these rules is a bit silly.

Being judgemental probably isn't in the bylaws, either.

I don't know if that's to me or to her, but I wasn't the one who said:

I was agreeing w/ you - rampant gossip running through the sorority re: who's been tempted to pose in Playboy isn't really Conduct Becoming A Sorority Girl, either.

I think I'd rather be in the house w/ a couple girls who f* up now and then but generally accept each others' decisions than the house with the stellar rep who maintains it by talking s* about each other and their choices.

I thought so, but you haven't been on in a while so I wanted to make sure your body hadn't been taken over by the Rules girls or something.

Oh. Right! Also, girls who smoke AND WALK AT THE SAME TIME are whores.

Better?

The one I love is no eating while walking. Obviously, this was thought up by someone whose town does not have a street fair with tons o' food and about 5 park benches.
