Social vs. Service
I am not trying to cause any arguments here, but rather I am just trying to get some opinions.
Here is the situation, we have 16 social fraternities on campus, and 11 social sororities. We, the fraternities, generally mix with each sorority atleast once a semester. Lately, like the last two years, the service sororities have been having mixers with some of the houses on campus, and participating in certain events, usually left up to the social houses. This is angering many of the sororities on my campus, and even some fraternities. Case in point, one service sorority participated in Greek Sing, although they do not participate in Greek Week. I am not sure if the fraternity they were paired with didnt have another partner or what, but if they would have placed in the top three, those points they collected would of been wasted, since they do not participate in Greek Week. Is this right? They do not pay the same fees on campus, such as Panhel, and I am not sure they have to pay the insurance that we do either. I am not sure where I stand, but no disrespect to the service ladies on GC, but aren't they crossing some lines they shouldn't be. It is like they are trying to be a social house, but hide behind the letters of a service organization. No one on campus watches them when they have "pledges" and they have been known to haze and have pledges for 12+ weeks. No only does this seem crazy for a service organization, but any organization at that.
Does this seem strange to anyone else, or is this normal and it is finally just happening at our campus? Let me know.
