I'll speak for Theta Nu Xi. Incorporation
is a major accomplishment for an up-and-coming organization. Few people on Greek Chat (or offline) have any concept of the dedication and confidence it takes to claim membership in an organization that is not mainstream and is still very young. The current members of Theta Nu Xi are building a reputation through hard work and social action; a reputation that will be appreciated by the women who will eventually celebrate our centennial.
Our formal title is "Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Incorporated." There was a time that we were "Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority." Gaining incorporated status was an enormous status leap for a small organization like ours and serves to remind us all of our commitment to professionalism.
Calling the sorority by its full title is an expression of respect for us. We formally recognize each woman who signed the incorporation papers, because it was a historic and important moment for us. It is part of our tradition.
