I agree with nittanyalum as buying "stuff they could find their letters on" is as far from the truth as humanly possible and it is unfair to say that. That had absolutely no bearing on the decision. It is quite easy to get these things now a days as evidenced by the plethora of websites offering these services. The F & M chapter also never asked KBG for a house as per F & M policy the college provides houses to all greek organizations. The chapter absolutely asked for assistance on a variety of matters, but a house was never asked for. Also as a side not, the National Dues paid to KBG are more expensive then then National dues the women of F & M pay to KD.
The women of F & M have always appreciated the efforts of KBG during our re-recognition time and we will continue to appreciate it. As previously mentioned we grew apart and in the end I think the best decision for both groups was made. It has been a goal for the women of F & M to include KBG in our New Member Education program as it is part of our history and will always remain so. A strong appeal of KD was their willingness to allow the women of F & M to continue to educate its new members on our KBG history.
As has been previously mentioned, the F & M situation happened above the table as NPC was in contact with KBG Nationals (I was present for the conversations) and I do not understand what else there is to be discussing specific to this situation. I am sorry, but I am not comfortable with my chapter and my sisters being unfairly insulted on the internet.
