National Reputations

[33girl]

AMEN honeychile and OUlioness! I don't want anyone to think I am bashing consultants, but just because they are in that position does not make all their suggestions or methods perfect. they are human, just like any other sister, and at the end of the day that's what they are, just another sister. we've had wonderful consultants, terrible consultants, and in betwen.

sorry to semi-hijack this thread, but I get tired of hearing that any weaknesses in the chapter are all the chapter's fault because they are resistant to change or whatever. They are on that campus 24/7, the consultant is there for 4 days. I mean, we had one who harped on the fact that we dressed in jeans & sweatshirts all the time. If we had started doing pin attire 5 days a week, everyone would have thought we were in some freaky religious cult. maybe it worked for her campus, it didn't work for ours. that's a small thing, there were bigger things, but the consultants and national volunteers need to do a little more research before telling the chapter what to do. kinda like the pharmacy making sure your new prescription won't interact badly w/ your exisiting ones.

anyway, to get back to the topic, another thing that I think makes a sorority nationally strong is that even if they have all different types of chapters, they support them all equally. not just the campus leaders chapter or the southern belle chapter. These are your sisters, part of your family. Love and appreciate them for what they are, not what you wish they would be.
