Prettygyrl,
I was by no means trying to put myself above anyone. Nevertheless, you are on a GREEK website and you are not Greek, which is okay. So you shouldn't get offended if someone says, "How can she tell me how to run my organization, she isn't even in a Greek organization."

But, there is a difference in having an opinion, and speaking as if you have experience. It's all about perception. First of all, when I first saw your name, I assumed you were an AKA, maybe I should not have assumed, but this is a Greek chatline. Second of all, you are talking about what you would do in certain situations, Greek oriented situations. I assumed you had been through similar instances before.

What if I went to an AA (Alcohol Anonymous) meeting claiming to have all the solutions, and they asked me had I ever been an alcoholic, and I say "No." Realistically, how does that make me look? People are more apt to listen to you if they feel that you have good knowledge of what your talking about, especially experience.

Opinions alone are nice, but sometimes you need to have the experience to back up that opinion. Especially when talking about businesses or Greek organizations. (Yes, Greek organizations are businesses)
