And by the way, have I been sleeping through the sequined leg warmers part?? I can't believe I never got mine?!?

You didn't get yours? Call HQ, they'll send it along!

I don't want to give the impression I don't love our ritual, because I do. I just acknowledge that some people could feel excluded by it.

Knowing what you and I both know, I agree with you.

But as a person with no religious affiliation, I never felt at odds with what our (Christian) founders intended, either in word or spirit. I may have internalized or reflected on it differently than the girls who went to Church every Sunday, and that's OK.

PS - I got my leg warmers yesterday and will be wearing them along with my badge next week. They're extra-sparkly!

All this does, to me, is emphasize how this discussion does NOT work unless each person knows what the other is talking about

Thank goodness you got your leg warmers. Don't forget to start stretching for the compulsory splits.
