What do you consider secret?
Sisters:
I was having an off-line discussion with a friend about message boards and what I think should and should not be discussed in this forum. My opinions are shaped by my intial education in Alpha Delta Pi. My chapter was very clear on what they felt was "for ADPis only" and what was open. We always erred on the side of caution. I wonder if this is an attitude that is simply been lost, or if others might agree with me. Frankly while speaking with my friend I had a pretty long list of what I was
taught was for "ADPis only" and I suppose I stil feel that this rules applies on-line as well. The list that I came up with includes:
1. Initiation...I was taught that NO details, none whatsoever,
of this should be discussed with anyone outside of another initiated sister of Alpha Delta Pi. At my chapter we were taught to politely defer any questions about Sorority ritual.
2. More serious sorority events such as Pinning, and the days leading up to initiation. These were for ADPi ears only. Certainly you could speak in vague, general terms, but in reality no one else needs to be involved in these events, so why bother them with the details?
2. Recruitment planning. Having been a Rush Chair (we called it rush then) this one was a big one for me. All the details to be discussed belonged solely to ADPis.
Am I hopelessly left in the dark ages with these opinions? I am somewhat surprised what people are willing to disscuss openly on a message board that can be read by absolutely anyone.
What do you all think?
