Tom Earp, I really need you to TRY to do better.

If the grammar and spelling in your posts aren't up to par, at least display a willingness and an ability to understand what people are typing in their posts.

I did say something others didn't...That a lot of the responsibility for breaking the barriers lies upon the majority. I might get ripped for that, but I believe it to be true. Because the fact is, when you are part of a majority, regardless of what it is related too, you don't have to worry about your rights and freedoms like those in the minority...

Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions are a really good example of the rights of the minority (political)...I suggest people take a look at those. Written by Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

The beauty of America is the right of the minority (and I don't mean just racial, political, etc, I mean everything) ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, we must protect those rights, or we shall not be living what it is to be an American.

Ok, that's my political statement for the day.

Being in an Asian Fraternity, no one knows anything about us, since we are relatively new (although Pi Alpha Phi was founded in 1926, roughly seventy years before Iota Phi Theta, the newest of the Divine Nine).

Interesting post, but I just wanted to make one correction. Iota Phi Theta was founded in 1963 and joined the NPHC in 1996 (we were not founded in 1996) so Pi Alpha Phi is 37 years older than IOTA.

Yeah, I know... I was trying to say they are almost 70 years old, and that Iotas are a little over 40 years...My bad.

It's cool, but I had to make it clear because there are people that learn about organizations through what they read (be it correct or inaccurate) on this board.

What better, it was pretty simple to try to understand.

As was pointed out, many Members of any GLO will say I "was" a Member of XYZ. Good so far?

It has been pointed out on GC that there are many times that is exactly what they say. Yet what We as GC GLO Memebers at speaking for life. I always say I am a LXA from so and so College.

I then ask them, oh your not a memeber now?


I think for the most part, GC has helped open the eyes of people who are not around different GLOs and as not all Colleges have them all.

Learning as you say from books about different GLOs is not nearly as good as learning from those Members.

Does that fit your criteria?

but how do you KNOW these "members" are legit.? Just recenently Rudey gave false info on Iota Phi Theta, and claimed he got it from a memeber on the board. He took it and ran. Your point is only good in an ideal world.

The first half of your post does not but the last two paragraphs do fit my criteria. Therefore, I'll respond to your last two paragraphs.

Some of us have known about other types of organizations years before we even knew what GC was. So, pardon some of us if we don't respond with enthusiasm when these types of "let's learn about every organization" topics come up.

Moreover, the experiences of certain groups of people are routinely ignored. It isn't until these experiences are validated by the mainstream that they are given credibility and are "worth" discussing and learning about. So, pardon some of us if we don't share the "now that we finally notice you and think you're important, let's find out about you...and you better be open to this dialogue NOW...because we say so" enthusiasm, either.

Not really, but that's okay.

You gave your political speech but did not answer the question that started this thread nor did you give much detail regarding your organization.

what you call public information, many times is esoteric to us. now, really....stop trying to change the subject.

I wasnt saying she put it out there. My point was that she didnt have to read it. If shes concernd about 'prying eyes' so to speak, I just find it REALLY hypocritical to then go and read another groups rit. Outta respect thats some shady stuff I'd never do. If SGR's, Sigma Chi's or ATO's rit fell into my lap, I'd do what I coudl to contact somebody from one of those orgs and return the info. Cause their rit's and whats in 'em are none of my concern. I would assume that someone who seemed to be saying as much would actually beleieve the same thing. Just 'cause its out there dont mean she had to read it. Its a respect thing, so to speak.

Also, I NEVER SAID I wanted to know jack about her org. I dont care. Hell, I never even met a SGR. (but I appreciate you jumping to her defense tho). I'm saying that if other peoples business really is other peoples business (as she was preaching) then she shoullda acted it and not read that other groups biznass.

well, of course she's going to read it....it's put out there by someone who lacks discretion. DUH.

you find it hypocritical, when in reality the two are not even one and the same. you are looking at two different situations, it's not a difficult concept.

it's not her fault that someone put their info on the web.

Absolutely there is. That was the point of my post in the first place. If she's rasing a stink about people wanting to know about her org, she had no business reading the innermost secrets of another org. Its that simple.

lol, you really dont get it do you? the information was provided to her. it was there, she read it. she didn't ask for it. now that's a simple concept.

I'm thinking you just dont get it.

She had the CHOICE to read it or not to read it. Yes someone else posted it, which was wrong. But she didnt have to read it. If shes about staying outta others business, then she should have shown some maturity and stayed out of others business.

i know you are but what am i? LOL

she had a choice, because there was one provided to her.

i'm sure people on this site would read up on our practices and secrets if a website was put up. and i'm sure sigmadiva (correct me if i'm wrong) doesn't give a blurple fuck about an orgs secrets outside of her own. that doesn't mean she's not going to read it if it's provided to her. the idiot who created the site made it public business. it has nothing to do with maturity or whatever you're talking about.
