disrespect during homecoming
Last week was homecoming at my school. We were paired with 2 fraternities which shall remain nameless because my chapter is now extrememly sngry with them. Through Homecoming week was are supposed to participate in a few philahthropic events, play flag football, and participate in the float building contest. There are also closed theme parties as well. Last week was also midterm week. ON tuesday many of my sisters stayed home to study for their early morning Wednesday midterms because school is a lot more important than Homecoming. As a result, one of the fraternities decided to tell us they were doing the float (and then didn't do it), when we all showed up at the Thursday party they decided to leave, they cancelled Friday's party completely to "work on the float" when in reality they used our money to buy beer and have a party with another sorority, and, the worst part of all, they didn't show up for Omega Mouth.
This made us really angry because Omega Mouth is a lipsynching and dancing competition to raise money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Athens. the same rude fraternity called the other fraternity that we were paired up with to tell them not to worry about coming because they wanted their pledges to do it. However they never showed up. They live across the street from us so we went over there 4 times to try and get 5 guys to do it. they kept telling us that they were on their way. the last time they flat out told us they were not going to participate, and told us it had something to do with socials. We were embarrased in fromt of the greek community, and we heard people ask others if we even PARTICIPATED in Homecoming.
I have a chapter of only about 53 women (small for our campus) and we're trying to figure out what to do. Anyone have any suggestions?
Sorry about the long post.
