I totally agree, Ladygreek. I'm not talking about when sorors correct, I'm talking about when sorors dictate. There's a huge difference. There's a way to lead and dictating is not the correct way.

I hate misguided deference. I don't mind deferring to those who came before me, when appropriate. But if you haven't been financial and actively involved in a chapter, since your initiation dues ran out, then what do you REALLY know?

Ditto to the above: Those who have not been financial since initiation and are misrepresenting by wearing letters EVERYWHERE. They don't know jack about anything currently going on local, regional or national basis. And most of all they place the chapter they were initiated through on a pedestal ABOVE the sorority.

I have just decided to start being very vocal about this issue because I encounter way too many members of all organizations who do this.

word! it used to take FOREVER to find out when something was happening. dont be putting up ONE flyer in a random corner of a bulletin board at XYZ University for an event at ABC College, especially if it's an hour away, the event is on a Thursday afternoon and it's Wednesday nite.



OK it really irks me when said greek will wear the SAME ONE PIECE of para at EVERY function, even when its inappropriate. i know a guy (wont say what org, but he's grad) but he wears this varsity line jacket everywhere, including a fellow greek's funeral and an afterwork social event. umm, sometimes a pin or simple button down will do.

And I love you, too, because you don't fit the bill. (Pun intended. LOL)

Very honestly, Del, sometime it has to be done. Gentle correction does not always work and then you have to pull rank and dictate. Of course that is only valid when a truly knowledgable person is doing it, so I do hear you.

I do agree with this 100%
