Room for Individual Growth?

the other thread that i had responded to had nothing to do with this topic. i wasn't the one who brought it in this thread. i simply stated that i agreed with her, i also stated that if she knew about these policies before then she really didn't have a leg to stand on. if that's the way her sorority was always run then that's fine, but i PERSONALLY don't agree with it. I'm not sure how dressing up for meetings builds sisterhood either. i mentioned in the other thread that making something more difficult helps people to bond. the pledge period is where i had mentioned that these "hardships" can build a strong cohesiveness i don't believe that dressing up for meeting is a hardship in any form, i just stated that i didn't see the point in it. These are just my personal opinions and are not meant to downplay anyone's organization in any way. She asked what people thought, and i gaveth.

My comment was general and not necessarily directed at anyone. And dressing up for meetings is not about fostering sisterhood; it's about being dressed professionally when conducting sorority business. Our organizations are indeed sisterhoods but they are also businesses.
