"Why Did You Decide to Join ...That?"

This was the quote that I was referring to...

These and many other statements are some of the challenges that I face when asked about SBX. This particular statement is one that a lot of us get asked the most (or we get asked why didn't you just join a support group for mothers). It was not an attempt to attack any org in particular, but I was only illustrating a few of the things that I myself and other members of SBX have faced. Maybe someone out there has a suggestion as to how to handle that type of comment?

I did not take anything personally at all (and there are no hard feelings towards anyone else...this is only the internet), and I enjoy the fact that we all will have different opinions because there is always something new to be learned. I personally am not a stranger to the greek world and the struggles that other orgs have gone through over the years (because I have done my own private and extensive research way before I decided to join any org and from personal experience)...but my organization is still a "baby" compared to the majority of others. As we grow in size and more people know about us, it never ceases to amaze me about some of the comments and questions that people come up with to ask. I'm sure we have many more to come...
