So, if the question was "did your founders used to be Delta Beaux", what would your answer be?

Your more than welcome to refer to my initial response. Or you can attempt to contact the founders and ask them yourself.

Which is good for you?

If it's not public information, then say so. If you don't want to be bothered to answer, then don't respond. I'm a huge fan of service organizations, and it's a shame to see the sole representative of your organization on GC play this ridiculous cat and mouse game.

My service sorority's founders were all TKE Little Sisters, for example. It's an important part of our history, and I would feel ridiculous if I gave the impression I was ashamed of it by refusing to talk about it. If anyone were to ask me about my founders' previous affiliation I would be completely up front and more than happy to discuss it. Which I guess is why I'm having so much trouble understanding why you are playing this so coy.

It hasn't dawned on him that aspirants of his organization will find this thread when they google his fraternity.

I guess I also didn't get the same memo that he did, that service orgs who have a 'sidekick' past are supposed to be ashamed of it (or have all their actions give the appearance that they are ashamed).

Hush now, you have long since risen up from your shameful past. No one must ever know!

All these years on GC and I still haven't learned that discretion is key.

We're actually pretty proud of it, since instead of folding as an organization we grew and adapted. I think it's pretty fantastic, never occurred to me to be ashamed of it until today, trying to figure out why one would be.

Why do you care? At the end of the day, what possible difference does it make to you?

Yes, you should spell it out, because your responses have not said anything other than you think you are above participating in a conversation. You aren't doing yourself or your organization any favors by trying to be sly. At the end of the day, I'm just a girl proud to be in a service sorority, and this is just a website where people can make themselves look sillier than they need to.

The answer is yes. The lack of a direct response answers the question for us.

It's important for aspirants to know the true origins of the organizations they are pursuing...and to be ok with it. Gamma Beta Chi is not the first organization to be outed on Greek Chat. There's was this sorority...what was its name ()...at UC-Berkeley that lied to its aspirants about its true origins.

You're in good company!

LOL

You nor your buddies are in any way, shape, form or fashion interested in membership. So spare me.

Your correct about the aspirant comment, though. And when any aspirant, respectfully, asks questions about GBX, I and any brother will be more than happy to answer their questions.

Well dang. Maybe I did want to join, but I sure don't want to now.

Hey ... although I'm certainly not interested in membership with your organization, I though my question about your founders was very respectful. Now, If you can just hold up your end of the barging and happily answer this question, I'd personally like to learn more about your organization, including information about your foundations. Just be honest and forthright about your group's beginnings. If you are really so proud, please let us share in your joy for your fraternal organization.
