Educated Conversation...

Greetings fellas,

my name is Cesar and I am a proud brother of Lambda Theta Phi, Fraternidad Latina Inc. I am not here to start any drama nor to represent my organization, I just wanted to start a dialogue pretaining to some of you organization's probate shows. It seems that it has become more and more prevalent that you guys have been disrespecting Lambda at your probate shows. Whether its a Florida, Wisconsin, California, is has been occuring frequently. What's up with all the public shit talking at public probate shows? Is that due to the fact that one of your founding brothers pledged to a fraternity that is accustomed to doing this kind of stuff at their probate shows? I just wanted to get your opinions because we do not create chants or salutes to publicly disrespect your organization. I understand that you might say "well, we heard people from your org say this or that," but we have never made a public nor teach our pledges to disrespect other organizations.

If you don't dis them, then you're the better people.

Move on and let it go. This kind of dialog is never productive.

What a great way to solve a problem between two national organizations! Call them out on a public message board! Brilliant.

I've seen the dissing happen to all of us. It's not just done by SLB though. Just realize that these shows are for entertainment value, and should be taken as such. Unfortunately, some people take the friendly competition outside of probates/shows/salutes and that's what causes the problems. If it gets to this point, have a chat with their president to express your concern. Don't stoop to their level trying to make a point; that will undoubtedly cause more harm than good.

What one chapter of SLB does should not in any way reflect on another chapter. Its not like its in our national bylaws to call other orgs out or anything, and to be honest, it shouldnt happen. It just isnt gentlemanly or helpful.

With probates as well, most of our Neos are hyped up and ready to talk shit. It shouldnt happen, but it does. lately there has been national discussion trying to promote more polite probates and the such, but nothing will ever be perfect.

As Shadow knight said, have a talk with the local president and try to keep things friendly.
