You like to pick on me, don't you, DSTCHAOS? You must have issues with non-white women who are members of white organizations.

And yet you keep rising to the bait... seriously - and I mean this in the nicest way possible - LET. IT. GO.

i'm sure she doesn't have anything against you.

Who is she? I don't even know what "race" she is and what type of organization she's in.

My bad...I assume she's Asian b/c you said something about her not representing all Asians.

You are right it is your business. And I don't see anyone saying the opposite. We are all responding to a thread topic with our various positions. So calm down and go have fun with your lifelong sisters. No one here is stopping you.

Oh and thanks for reiterating info we were given earlier in the thread. Like I said before, I learned something new regarding ALUMNI Initiations in GLOs.

You seemed to have completely missed my point, which is obvious by your reply. Perhaps you should go back and read it again. Oh and thanks for your response, it is always good to learn something new...providing you don't get too "testy" about it. (yikes!)

Perhaps she thought your post was in reponse to the current dialogue in this thread. If it was a general post aimed at the original topic...okay.

So do some of you want me to apologize for what I've posted?

Exactly!!!

What I don't think is that people are grasping the full idea of a "cultural organization." Sure, when you first hear or see those words you think (just as I do) of a group of people, who are predominantly the same race, coming together to celebrate that race. Just like my dance group, which is ballet folklorico (or mexican folk dancing) would be considered a "cultural organization." But that is where it all stops....it doesn't seem like a lot of people can get past the fact that a sorority IS a cultural organization.

But from what I've read on this thread most people are saying something to the effect of "oh a black or hispanic sorority would be a cultural organization, but not a "white" sorority." But you all have not explained why a "white" sorority would not be considered "cultural." Like I stated before, EVERYONE has a culture....EVERYONE! So that means that every single "white" person has a heritage, a culture. So when 30-40 girls come together, especially if they are predominantly the same race, they in effect become a sort of "cultural organization."

Just because your sorority does not EXPLICIT state that you are to "help the white community" (or something to that effect) doesn't exempt you. Just because your philanthropy doesn't encompass a certain race, doesn't mean jack.

A "white" person is not different from a "black" person or from a "hispanic" person. Like I've said numerous times, they all have a culture that they come from. So with that being said, you CAN NOT say that a "white sorority" is different than a "black" or "hispanic" sorority, but the latter are "cultural organizations" and the white sorority isn't.

that is why I said Tri Delta COULD be construed as a "cultural organization" just for the fact that "white" people are not excluded from having a culture

So yeah..sorry i know i sounded redundant...but oh well.

Great post.
