Online Multicultural Sorority

All that preaching that Miss Passion is doing, and I still don't know what this organization does. I know what the colors are, where they were founded, and how to pledge. Apparently, that's all that's necessary to sustain a GLO.

What I really don't understand is why such a negative outlook on something positive.We are a new organization and instead of educating us you all are bashing us for wanting something.....why??

[knight_shadow]

Why is it necessary for you to seek validation from faceless usernames? If you're already doing positive things (they're not being communicated on your site, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt), why do you need us to educate you?

Oh my goodness, that "Gamma Chi" thing was just....

I never opened any of those threads at the time, and I'm glad I didn't!!!

[Miss Passion]

I said educate us because you all seem to have such strong feelings and I don't know why. I feel like this: If we are somehow operating in a manner that would be offensive to your organizations then why don't you all communicate that to us in a way that is less defensive. I feel like the mocking and joking is a juvenile way to communicate considering the fact that you don't know anything about any of us. We haven't been around long enough to be judged so harshly.

I don't think anyone is mocking you, they're just pointing out that part of your purpose is taken verbatim from another organization. I wold think that you'd want to know that, so you can change it, and avoid possible legal action.

How long does an organization need to be around before it can be openly ridiculed?

All jokes aside -- Part of your forming a new organization is doing research. You all should have figured out what's "offensive" prior to forming the organization.

Seriously inexcusable... You ARE on online organization; no member should be without internet access, right? Research should be relatively easy...

Man, even I remember Gamma Chi.

[Miss Passion]

That is actually the first time I've seen that and it is definately being investigated...as we speek. The person who "created" that is being contacted. The last thing we intended was to be viewed negatively in the sight of anyone.

[Miss Passion]

I agree...

How exactly does an online chapter work? How do you attract new members? Do officers meet in real life to discuss sorority business? Do sisters have regular social events or do they just form friendships on myspace and meet up once in a while? What about initiation?
