Silly me, I thought that sisterhood was everything in a sorority.

That is just too funny. I wonder if Chi O disciplined their member as well, and if so, whether the fact that she lost to a GPhiB was considered.

I certainly never said image is more important than sisterhood. That's ridiculous! I would, though, like to see this utopia you describe that is your campus where no one judges, no one gossips and everyone is happy being strippers if they want. I would love to believe it, only I know human nature, and I have a modicum of common sense. You can't get rid of any of this. The point of maintaining a good image is to not have a bad reputation eclipse your sisterhood. If you want to jump on me for that go ahead, but I have to tell you that picking words out of my posts and twisting them for your own bizarre needs does nothing but make you look silly. They certainly don't make me feel small or petty or less sisterly. I have much better self esteem than that! Not to mention I think this is a stupid argument...I don't think either of us really thinks the other is that far on the polar ends of this debate. I also will not debate that the rules I mentioned earlier are strange...but they are the rules of the group. No one has asked to have them change so I'm not sure what the big deal is!

1. You might need to either read more slowly or review reading comprehension skills. I did not say a) that my campus is a utopia b) that no one judges c) that no one gossip d) anything whatsoever about strippers.
2. Your arguement was that it was vital that your girls not drink on the dance floor because that is bad image. And then you say that you have a slut in the sorority and a possible druggie. Now...you tell ME if that makes sense? Petty "ettiquette" over the big issues?
3. If you think things like smoking with uncrossed legs, eating while walking, or drinking on the dance floor will so damage your sisterhood that the entire campus will think you are bad girls...again, look at what you've already said. I can't fathom the incredibly stupid herd that would shun a chapter because a sister ate a hot dog while walking but would completely ignore a slut or a druggie. If that's where people's priorities are...I don't think you're getting your money's worth.
4. As I had said earlier, there are things that are deemed immoral by the majority of society including, for instance, sleeping around a lot, being a consistent sloppy drunk, doing drugs, or most importantly just being a mean person. Every organization must have rules to function. My point was that they are in my opinion extremely nit picky in your case and seem to TOTALLY miss the point if, as you say, it's ok to do nothing about sluts/druggies but not to hold a drink when not sitting.
5. I'm actually supremely unconcerened about how I look in this particular arguement. See number one before telling me I make myself look silly in an arguement. Revise. Then try to make me feel silly.

I request that the OP (who is also a Mod and has the ability to do this) changes the title to reflect that we are not Sorority Girls, we are Sorority Women.

Hey, someone had to say something we can all agree on.

Thanks for changing the tone of the room Alpha....I guess it's good to have some peacemakers in this world!

Did this make anyone else laugh? I mean, considering 98% of the time, I'm the instigator instead of the peacemaker. I'm just feeling weird today.

No, you're confused. It's image. I mean why join a sorority for friends and sisterhood? That's crap...it's ALL about how you hold your drink. Geez. Seriously you should get your priorities straight.

I thought it was all about what color your letter jerseys were.


Kidding.

Eh. Funny.

Respect is a big issue for me...which is why the colors are a big deal to me as well as promoting sisterhood over image. I get worked up. Some of these posts are straight out of Pledged.
