I'm a Tri Sig at ECU and I really hate that that's the way we come across to people. Our chapter has worked very hard in the past few years to overcome some problems we've had and I think we've done a very good job. And recently we've been getting a lot of praise from our national and regional officers so I think our chapter represents Sigma just fine, pirate00.
I'm not even going to address the comment about us being "stuck-up, loose blondes" because it's a stereotype that has been used to describe several groups on campus and it's not true for any one of us.
Yes, we do like to have a good time and go out but that's not all there is to us. We have been very involved in campus activities this year and we've been doing a lot of fundraising as well. Besides, if you judged every organization just on the members you see downtown we'd all be characterized as a bunch of partiers.
I would not trade being a Sigma for anything. My chapter is a very diverse and close-knit group of girls and I think one of the reasons we may be perceived as "stuck-up" is because we have to deal with a lot of ignorant stereotypes like pirate00's and we've learned just to ignore them (and the rumors that go with the stereotypes).
Thank you ecukd, for at least being supportive, although I wish your comments had been more positive.
