Question about Loyally voulumes I&II

[knight_shadow]

LOL @ this entire thread

[knight_shadow]

It's always acceptable to ask random people on the internet for sorority-specific documents.

As a matter of fact, I'm an ADPi as well. When you get them scanned, email them to me!

(See how easy that was? THAT'S why people are "being so rude")

you really should go thru ADPi headquarters. that way, if you are who you say you are, they can verify that, and then you will get what you want thru them. if you are that woman in alabama who desparately wants to be an ADPi, then they won't give you the information you are seeking and ADPi's secrets will remain just that-secret.

abebooks.com will be your best bet if you want them quickly and can't borrow them from an alumna. And that way, at least they will be yours to have.

Thanks. End of my discussion. I just wish I could turn off the email alerts now.

Agreed on the abebooks.

Also, I'm confused by this whole thing. Are these books like histories of the GLO? Sigma Kappa has some of those and they're also out of print AFAIK. Similarly purchasing them from abebooks means you're purchasing from used or rare book collectors/stores. No money goes to the authors at all. None of it is 'secret' as far as ritual goes, even if the intended audience was members. I could be wrong, I haven't read our books, but am I wrong in assuming they're similar?

These are the sort of thing that if they're not going to be reprinted, I would LOVE to see scanned into Google Books, or otherwise turned into ebooks for the historically inclined to read.

Dear SillyDarla,

Since you want the opinion of an ADPi, you're entitled to one.

You say you're from DELTA CHAPTER and yet they have no copies of Loyally I & II? Alpha Delta Pi's oldest existing chapter with so many awards can't hold on to their copies of Loyally? I'm finding that just SO hard to believe. But, just in case the chapter is full of kleptomaniacs...

You got jumped on due to your use of the word "ritual". Alpha Delta Pis who listen to their New Member lessons are aware that there is no written ritual in one place.

Loyally has information on the sorority's history, but of course, no ritual. It comes up on ebay often, and also, as you said, at bookplaces that specialize in older books. You're going to pay roughly $100 for them. When a chapter closes, the closest chapter usually inherits the copies (I know my chapter has three sets), so that's when to start looking. I also know several alumnae who have the set; one of the local alumnae might be willing to let you see them.

Again, I will say that you made one of the biggest noob errors on GreekChat by using the word "ritual". Swear off using that word, and you'll get along fine.

I feel a little bad that I had some major work to do today, and didn't catch it your post earlier. We're all very sensitive about noobs who ask about ritual because there's a total nutjob named Jacki who is perping Alpha Delta Pi, and doesn't realize what a fool she's making of herself. Feel free to PM or email me if you'd like - but please don't try to insult my intelligence!

My bad. Doesn't really excuse her not listening to her New Member lessons, does it?

[Low C Sharp]

it's illegal to do what you're asking (scan and pdf copyrighted material without written consent from the publisher).

Aside: This isn't true. It would be illegal to publish it on the web. It would be illegal to distribute it. But it's not illegal to make one copy of a copyrighted book and give it to your sister.

sillydarla and I have had a chat, and no honey badgers need to be called out right now. Every message board has a hot button issue, and she made the mistake of hitting it as a noob. Let's try to get along now, okay?

FWIW- I have a personal copy of volume II, but there is no way in heck I will ever be parting with it. Every charter member of my chapter received it as a gift at our first initiation. It is signed by the then grand/ international president. (Can't remember which year the titles all switched.) So if anyone needs me to look up something specific, I'd be happy to dig it out in my spare time. (Which might take awhile, but I'll get to it.)
