If it's not public information, then say so. If you don't want to be bothered to answer, then don't respond. I'm a huge fan of service organizations, and it's a shame to see the sole representative of your organization on GC play this ridiculous cat and mouse game.
My service sorority's founders were all TKE Little Sisters, for example. It's an important part of our history, and I would feel ridiculous if I gave the impression I was ashamed of it by refusing to talk about it. If anyone were to ask me about my founders' previous affiliation I would be completely up front and more than happy to discuss it. Which I guess is why I'm having so much trouble understanding why you are playing this so coy.

It hasn't dawned on him that aspirants of his organization will find this thread when they google his fraternity.

I guess I also didn't get the same memo that he did, that service orgs who have a 'sidekick' past are supposed to be ashamed of it (or have all their actions give the appearance that they are ashamed).

Hush now, you have long since risen up from your shameful past. No one must ever know!

All these years on GC and I still haven't learned that discretion is key.

We're actually pretty proud of it, since instead of folding as an organization we grew and adapted. I think it's pretty fantastic, never occurred to me to be ashamed of it until today, trying to figure out why one would be.

Yes, you should spell it out, because your responses have not said anything other than you think you are above participating in a conversation. You aren't doing yourself or your organization any favors by trying to be sly. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl proud to be in a service sorority, and this is just a website where people can make themselves look sillier than they need to.

Yes I am above answering foolish questions.
What's sly exactly?
I agree with the last sentence 100%. Some of your buddies should take notice thereof and govern themselves accordingly.
