I think the best option is to encourage your friends who are former members to talk to the national organization. You probably don't want these people pissed off at you, for one. They will see it as sticking your nose in their business.

Good luck.

Hypothetical situation....
Let's say I'm driving through my college town late at night and I drive by a carwash. I see some girls that I KNOW are members of XYZ spraying water on other girls that I KNOW are pledges (back in my day) of XYZ. Apparently the girls being sprayed have lots of other stuff on them cause they look dirty. The girls being sprayed have blindfolds on.

Being a member of NPC, in order to uphold my own GLO values as well as NPC values, am I obligated to report what I saw? Who would I report that to?

Discuss......

PsychTau
Your hypothetical situation involved possibly putting those pledges in harm's way! I actually had both of my eardrums burst, at different times, while my brother and I were playing with a water hose during the summer months. That's just one of the many things that could go wrong.

If you see something that endangers someone's life or health, I would anonymously report it to the Nationals of that organization. If you don't actually see anything, and just hear about it, don't mess with it.

I certainly disagree with what TKESweetheart posted as well, but insulting someone's GLO ("your little sorority" is not exactly my preferred name for my own group) is not the way to go here. And as for people "being familiar" with your letters, that's neither a statement of your GLO's worth nor is it even relevant here - since you haven't even revealed your Greek affiliation.

So let's retract those claws and stick to the issues, okay? I'd just hate to have someone get ticked off at me and belittle my org on a public board...
Just wanted to appologize for that. It was very not nice of me and I'm sorry.

Question

Question, is this supposed to be fun and for whom

Will this promigate futher things of this nature in the future

Will this build the unity that your Organization wants to project

Will this keep other people from joing your Organization and then lead to the Death of it

If I was hazed to an extint that I wanted to Drop, you can be damn sure I would let others know what went on! Try to recruit then!

I started a local, My edict was no damn hazing, period!

As you may see if you really check out some threads, Some schools wanted to get away from locals and go with Nationals for this very reason! Hazing or Not hazing is more controlled by Nationals!

Concerned-- Sorry about the previous post I made..I was pretty grumpy that day I'm normally not that bad, hehe

I need to reword what I said before in the non-grumpy-normal-Kayla post
