I always wondered why a sorority would want to randomly (not for special occasions) bring a fraternity homemade cookes, raise money for THEIR philanthropies (which seems different than a co-sponsored event), or rake THEIR lawn.
That sounds like much more than just having friends in other GLOs and having a bond with another GLO or chapter.

Yeah different concepts of "nice." That screams something other than "nice" to me.

I see those things as about more than doing something for somebody without ulterior motives.
But, the theme of GC this week is: YKINMK.

Why? Are you that suspect of people?
Is it less weird that we did a rake-n-run with Delta Zeta involving random peoples' lawns, rather than fraternity houses?

Because different group cultures and campus cultures call for different things.

No. That's even stranger than raking a fraternity's lawn.
Not everyone wants randoms to rake their lawn.

I agree with you. I wouldn't appreciate people trampling my lawn. I recently saw an event where GLOs got together to rake the lawns of elderly residents as a service to the community. But, the residents had given prior consent.

LOL.
I would rather pay someone I have given consent to (and therefore know who they are and what they are doing on my property) than get a Random Rake for free. That is especially the case since the person I pay will often do the job when I'm not home. If I'm not home and come home to a Random Rake, I will be nervous and will make sure my house alarm wasn't tampered with.

I've just attributed this to IFC/NPC vs. non-IFC/non-NPC. The only times that we received "OMG COOKIES!" were when people wanted votes in student elections. Aside from that, it would just seem weird.
When we had our on-campus house, we would never expect sorority women to do our chores/yardwork.

Yeah I couldn't tell whether this was an NPC thread or whether this was about what "good sorority women" should do. LOL.
