new member programs preparing you for life as an active

[AOII Angel]

I think you are underestimating women. I am perfectly able to identify greek letters without having to check a book. My point has been that people have argued that the 6 week NM period is too short to make NMs ready for initiation. My argument was that the semester pledge period included no more important information than during my 6 week NM period....they just spent a week on the greek alphabet, and we did not! Being able to recognize greek letters is one thing, but I fail to see the importance of being able to recite it like a kindergartener in order to get initiated. Please next time read a statement within it's context! We didn't have to learn the greek alphabet as part of our new member education, but that does not mean we were unable to decipher the names of other groups or other chapters of AOII, so you can get off you little soapbox! The people you mention asking stupid questions about greek letters probably had to memorize the greek alphabet as part of their education but are just morons.
