DZ--
I understand where you're coming from. And I don't think that there is anything wrong with still using the old terminology, but for the sake of formal occasions I don't see why people don't just use the terms that make the "in charge" feel comfortable. They changed the terminology because of some of the negative stereotypes that surround the Greek Community. It goes under the same understanding that while writing a paper for my elementary education classes I use the word "children" when I may otherwise refer to them in regular speech as "kids". People change their choice of words to fit all situations all the time. Are you going to talk the same way to your Grandmother or Pastor as you do your best friend? I would hope not. I've read a lot of your posts, but I must have missed some of the ones refering to events that are not permissible now, could you give me an example? I would love to know more about the events are now "banned".
I say use any language you want just be mindful of those around you.
