I don’t post here very often, but I read posts here a LOT. Including every single word of this thread.
You know who it’s hard to be right now?
The PR department at KD.
And the National Council members of KD.
And you know what?
It’s not so hard because of ACBs views or nomination.
It’s because people have completely forgotten how to disagree without being disagreeable.
People are justifying acting like a$$holes because we think our brand of bad behavior isn’t NEARLY as bad as the behavior of the person we complain about. And yet, all this vitriol, even that which purports to be in the name of inclusion, equal rights or other things that the loudest voices deem virtuous, is ruining us.
Tonight, I texted my chapter sister (and grand-big) who is on KD National Council. My goal? To offer her support in the middle of what is a hot mess. She’s looking at every single angle she can to be fair and respectful, whether she agrees with political views or not, and there’s just no way to win. Please, KDs, if you know someone involved in this, please text the leader and wish them well and thank them for serving....whether you agree with them or not.
And if you are in another sorority and have similar struggles going on - also thank your leaders for trying to do the right thing.
Ta Kala Diokomen,
(Which means let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful, and highest)
