Let me see, I posted under Alpha Delta Pi. Why should a TKE respond? True everyone has the ability to respond; however, just because someone says something on a subject, it doesn't mean they have factual knowledge on the subject which in turn makes them an authority on the subject.

Also, these are published books. They are NOT the ritual books of my sorority.

I could pay $185 for them on abebooks.com, but I thought I'd cover all bases first.

Uh huh. So, it's illegal to ask people to copy/scan/send you sections without getting written permission from the publisher.

So, you're asking people to rip off the author(s) by illegally copying sections and sending them to you. That's what you mean by "cover all bases"?

Fork out the $. Do the right thing.

As a published author, I am tired of people copying my materials and passing them around for free. It's NOT okay. It's stealing.

Just being honest: I never thought people could be this rude. However, it is the Internet.

If I were a recipient of one of these books from a closed chapter, I would NEVER sell them to begin with. Secondly, if a sister or a chapter needed them, I would simply donate/give them to those people who needed them.

It's not a matter of the technical issues, it's the being kind and civil that gets me.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, and aside from the "can someone help me remember ritual info" questions that we sometimes see here --

If you look around in some recent ADPi threads, you'll see many posts about a woman who has been perping as an ADPi, going so far as to cover her facebook page with ADPi references and trying to pass herself off as an alumna with collegiate chapters and alumnae groups. It has become quite a major issue, and it has made lots of people on GC very sensitive to anyone claiming to be an ADPi who is looking for ritual-related material of any kind.

So in other words, your post landed in a backstory you may have known nothing about.
