You are correct in the fact that you shouldn't be offended. Please read what was actually written before responding and putting words into people's mouths. Never did I say I didn't want to join sai or that I was taking away the opportunity for someone else to rush sai. I would never put down another organization, especially one so closely related to ours. I am just not sure where you got the whole being offended part from. I reread my post and have actually highlighted that parts said about sai and I will insert them here so that you don't have to go back and reread what I wrote. So here you go:
I do not want to take that opportunity to rush an organization such as sai away, which is why we tried to do a 2-week rush.
. I would like every single sister to be able to come to every single event
And furthermore I was really offended by your e-mail where you have posted that I said all this stuff about sai and making it look like I am trying to start another little war between the two organizations. I hate posting stuff up on here and sending stuff out on the list serve for this exact reason. People twist words around so I could have said I like hamburgers and all of a sudden I want to go on some sort of killing spree around the school.<-----ok that was an exaggeration, but you get the point. It is like our own personal non-stop game of telephone. I also understand that sai has had events on Sundays for the past 5 years, however we have had football games on Saturdays forever practically. There is nothing I can do about moving a football game so that we can stop conflicting with sai. If it were possible I would have god make 2 Sundays one for sai and then one for us to put events like j Blanchard and oranges and 1st degree on which are the only things we have on Sundays. I have heard suggestions that we put 1st degree on a Monday. I talked with Becky about this morning and we came to the conclusion that moving to a Monday would be impossible b/c that is when we have our meeting and we all know how important meetings are in the fall. We also know how long they take and we don't want to have 1st degree to late at night b/c we know that bigs want time to spend with their littles that night, and go out as a sisterhood. Becky and myself are not only looking out for the convenience of the sister but the type of experience we want the mc's to have. We want to make sure that their rush is as easy going and as fun and memorable as possible. I am very sorry if you were offended the first time, but if you had read what I had posted fully then you would have realized that there was nothing but an apology for interfering this sai and there events and the concern that b/c of the way the schedule is next year that some sisters won't be able to attend some events. And as offended as you might have been I was twice as offended for the fact that you actually went ahead and put stuff down in your post that I never even said. In fact I didn't even find out about this post from reading it Becky told me about it this morning during our daily rollerblading adventure and she got to see exactly how hurt I was by it. I just cannot believe that you would actually think I would say any of that stuff. I was trying to make this whole thing of dates as business like as possible but by hurting people it makes it personal for everyone. People will take sides and talk behind each other's backs all about this little melodrama that was just created by a small misunderstanding. Hopefully this will be, as my mom likes to put it a life lesson. Instead of having a problem and trying to make it the entire sisterhood's problem, talk to the person directly. I know this has been something we were taught since we were like 5 or something but absolutely none of us follow it. So next time (this is for everyone) if you have a problem or you think there might be some sort of misunderstanding please take it directly to the person you have the problem with. I am sorry that this even had to be posted and that for most of you this was a waste of time reading. I apologize and hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their summer.
