Conduct Becoming of A Sorority Girl

I said they were both condescending and derogatory. I also said that they were not equal to eachother. Did you not get that?


At my campus, the campus where I was on KD House Corp and the campuses I've visited as a KD alumna it was not that way. GDI was derogatory, it was used by the Greeks, and it was not used by the independents themselves.

I already admitted to being an elitist. I don't think I have more class than everyone else though.


Show me one place where I made any negative implications about your sorority! I would NEVER insult Sigma Kappa!

A) That's not what you said. You said you'd never use it. I take people at their word.
B) They don't belong in the same sentence. That's like saying "I'll fight against those who say GDI just like I'll fight against Hitler" By saying this, you equate the two. Don't put them together and no one will call you out for it.
C) I'm not arguing that point. I acknowledge some places it's used negatively. You jumped into the conversation trying to make some sort of point about how it's always bad to say. What was my response? "It's always ok" or "It depends on campus culture." Thankfully you're finally coming around to my way of seeing things.

D) You imply that using GDI in any way is lower class than you by your statements. Just because you don't say it doesn't mean you don't exude it from every word you type.

E) Oh, but implications about my standards are completely ok. So you know, I would never use KD in an example of something I found offensive. I never brought your sorority into the discussion, but you had to bring mine up.
Also, you've made comments about the behavior of people on here reflecting on their GLOs. If you think MY standards are low, then you're implying, by your previous statement, that this reflects badly on SK and carries with it all sorts of other negatives.

As I said, you seem to finally be understanding that it has to do with campus culture, and perhaps you won't jump on the next poster to use it in a non-negative light or who suggests that it may not be the same everywhere.

WRONG! This is exactly what I said:

And then when you misunderstood what I meant by "think", I explained further.

Okay, fine.

Considering what the acronym actually stands for (and that in my experience independents were offended by it) I still think it's not a good thing to say no matter where you are. However, yes, I admit that I am now seeing things more your way. I suppose it does depend on campus culture.

I brought yours up in an example of something horrible that I would never say!
That's not insulting your sorority, it's defending it.

Please show me exactly where I have done this. I can't believe that I would have ever done that.

I honestly have no idea what you're saying here. Are you saying that if I insult you, then I'm insulting Sigma Kappa? If I'm wrong about that I'm sure you'll correct me but if that's what you're saying then you've done a whole lot of KD-bashing today. I don't think of it in those terms though. I'll take your criticisms as directed at me only and not KD.

Yes, I am beginning to understand that and I will promise not to do it again.


Please let me also apologize for making that rude comment to you about having lower standards. It was heat-of-the-moment anger talking. I'll admit that I'm usually taken aback when people openly use the N word, even when using it as an example of something bad to say. I actually don't believe you have low standards though and I'm sorry I said what I did.

I accept your apology and allow me to proffer my own. What started as a congenial comment ended up in mini flame war and I really didn't intend it to go there. I almost never use the n-word myself and only did so to make my point.

Thanks, Drolefille. Apology accepted. I really didn't intend for it to get so out of hand either, especially with you. I've always enjoyed reading your posts and found it strange that we were arguing.

I almost always rub people the wrong way on message boards, so I'm getting used to be disliked. I'm much nicer in person, honest!

Glad to finally have a truce. Phew! That was exhausting!
