Another reason to get rid of undergrads

A-----Men, A------men, A-------men, Amen, Amen.

Giggy Z is that enough?

I agree. stay active and financial long enough, have an elected, appointed position and you will truly, be "pledged".

personally speaking i'd much rather have an active soror paying her dues, implementing required programs than someone who strolls and/or step because that is all that was taught them.

Nothing worse than seeing a strolling soror who can't give you any history or information about the organization.

shaking my head ....

paper or pledge, give me paper ...

You want the experience of pledging? Stay financial and active in your org. Attend and participate in chapter meetings. Attend the business sessions at your state, regional and national conferences. Run for an office. Chair a committee. I GUARANTEE that if you do these things over a lifetime of membership in and service with your org that YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF PLEDGING. (Can I get an amen from someone who knows what I am talkin' 'bout?)

Remember the REAL WORK begins after the initiation process.

Maybe I am getting old and becoming the thing that some youngin's seem to fear--a old head, middle aged, office holding, dues paying, conference attending, rule obeying member. Be careful--YOU TOO may become one of us some day provided the orgs are not sued out of existence.

AMEN!!! AMEN!!! Preach on!!! They don't know!! They don't KNOW!!

AMEN!!!!
Everything you mentioned, I am doing. I know my history. I am very active. I was just elected as the anti-gramm. on our executive board (local level, I plan to run at a higher level later on), have attended the State meeting (which was very interesting), go to ALL the community service projects and chapter meetings, and plan to stay financial... GOD willing. (Keep in mind I am a Neo, so some of the meetings I have missed, but you can rest assured that I will be there next time around.)

Believe me I know where you are coming from, because it is a lot of work, and I am enjoying every second of it, but I still feel like I have missed something. I know in my heart, that is doesn't matter how you come it, but what you do once you are in, and I am doing all that I can do, but I just want the experience of being on-line, that is just the kind of person I am. I like to experience new things, things that I know will challenge me.

Maybe you are right, maybe I will get over it, but for right now, I just can't shake that feeling. I will however, continue to give my all to Zeta, and be there whenever She calls. It is nice to know that there are Soror's and Frat out there, that have the views that you do.

Thanks
