Good to see you!

And I love you, too, because you don't fit the bill. (Pun intended. LOL)

Exposure, as in a GDI watching Greeks for 15+ years? Or, exposure, as in being Greek for 15+ years? I ask, because experience trumps exposure on any given day.

Actually, now that I think about it, both!

Ok....

I know it's a new day in the NPHC. But the funny thing is that I have family members who crossed in the 50s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. And they all said that when they were new to their organizations that older Greeks were complaining about it being a new day (paraphrased). So, my guess is that it's always a new day. As the world evolves, so will the NPHC organizations.

Exactly. For example, sororities stepping was a new day for me. So the current state of step shows (dancing) is nothing but a throwback. That too shall change again.

I agree. It's a huge deal in Minnesota and it bothers me when I'm in the middle of it.

Don't act like you don't need a good "spankin" every now and then...go to your room right now...LOL!

Very honestly, Del, sometime it has to be done. Gentle correction does not always work and then you have to pull rank and dictate. Of course that is only valid when a truly knowledgable person is doing it, so I do hear you.

This had me rolling. Years ago Delta instituted a policy that a chapter could not assess fees or fines, so this could not happen now. But I remember that before the policy was enacted we had an SAA that did the same thing. Many of us, younger sorors at the time, started going late to meetings just to perturb her.
