?*PAPER MADE*???

One Love,

I have a great idea! Since you're concerned about joining the chapter at your college because they are "paper" why not write a letter to the National President of your desired organization and let them know of your discontent. Be sure to include your real name and permanent address!

you r so wrong 4 that

I know I am about to get burned at the stake here, but is it so wrong to want to have a process?

I haven't researched it but I am sure there are many threads on here about how active (beyond graduation) made vs. MIP members are, and I'm also sure you have the same thing on both sides - active and inactive members. Really I think it just depends on how down you were from the beginning, irregardless of whether you pledged (or were hazed) or not, but that's off topic...

Is it really so wrong for this girl to want a real process?? To want to feel that sense of accomplishment for doing what at times seems impossible?

To the poster who started this, I'd say - if this particular sorority is what is really in your heart and you can't see yourself doing anything else, then it shouldn't matter how you are brought in. But if the "paper" issue is really an issue for you (this is a personal decision), then find other options.

Have a great night everyone!

There is a process, it's called Membership Intake Process. It's just that new process is different from the OLD process.

Things change and the Sorority isn't really interested in potential members that don't understand or accept the NEW process. And as quiet as it's kept, at least for this member who participated in the OLD process, I have no respect for folks who don't follow the NEW process. My eternal love is for the Sorority, not the process of coming into the Sorority. So for all those folks who turn their nose up at the NEW process, let it go, or go somewhere else.

In other words, if someone were to brag about how they had an OLD process in this environment, I'd direct them to just pack up their stuff and send it to the Corporate office as their suspension letter would be appearing shortly.

As a sidenote, in the VERY beginning about 95 years ago, there was NO process. There was no application or letter submission. Membership in UG was similiar to grad, the SORORS invited you.

I have to strongly agree with this as well. Back in the day, ~ early 1960's when my mom came through that is exactly how she came in, she was invited in. Yeah, they did silly stuff when she was on line, but no where near the physical and mental abuse that used to occur before MIP.

You can pledge without physical and mental hazing.

I'm staying out of this conversation but this is something that people fail to realize.

You can pledge without physical and mental hazing.

***exits thread****

[sigmadiva]

^^^^^ Don't leave!!!!

Seriously though, I never thought it did anyone any good to first of all stay on line for more than 8 weeks. I mean, come on, what the h@ll does it take more than 8 weeks to learn about your org? Some one said they, or someone they knew, was on line for two semesters? Was that person getting a minor in pledge education?

Secondly, I think the physical and mental abuse during pledging is no more different from what one would find in a dysfunctional family - daddy beats me black and blue and calls me stupid because he loves me. That is bull isht.
