He only said one thing that bothered me a bit...he said "no one ever quits becase of the money" - one of my dearest sisters had to turn over her membership because her father lost his job and she didn't have enough money to stay a member...I felt so bad for her but there is nothing she, I, or we could have done...

Is this the guy that's a Sig Ep? I'm 99.9% positive it was the same guy that spoke to us several years ago.

I was pissed off about the very same comment.
I had stood up to ask a question- saying that as treasurer, I know a lot about the financial difficulties some of our members have and the financial concerns of some of the new members and asking if he had any advice on handling that. Instead of giving some useful information, he made this comment rather snidely. There's only so much you can do in payment plans, etc. The majority of the kids from my school are from working class families- the other Pitt greeks on here can attest to that. Many have money issues. Actually, we had one girl who's dad was laid off and she was working 2 part time jobs to send money home to her family.

Especially when the economy's like it is, i think that this was such a ridiculous comment of his. Maybe he comes from a privileged background, but I sure don't, and 90% of my sisters didn't.
