before somebody nails me to a wall --
I realize those statements were taken out of context. At the same time -- what're y'all THINKING?! If you joined your group to drink and party, you're on the wrong website.
It just upsets me to see sister/brotherhood take a backseat to what's established as "the college norm." When I pledged I had never had a drink, smoked a cigarette, had sex, or done drugs. And honestly, I don't think I was that "out there" -- I think the "college norm" is anything but. People have varying ideas of what they want to take away from college and what they want to experience.
Please, let's not strip things down to "what's really going on" when our true purpose on this board (and in our organizations) is to promote friendships. I realize y'all (and me too!) have extracurricular activities, but however you want to portray them -- they are NOT the primary focus of our respective GLOs.
I just think this discussion is getting misleading, and with so many potential new members -- and new pledges -- I worry.
