From your website: The goal of Omega Psi Chi is to give our members the resources, encouragement, and security to achieve their fullest potential with a lesser financial burden than national sororities. So, are you trying to start it up nationally? It appears that you view national sororities as financially burdensome. Also, it states on your website: As a local entity, Omega Psi Chi Sorority allows women the unique opportunity to be a part of a valuable, and social experience in which members help achieve beneficial decisions for the organization. Funds accrued within the organization go directly back into our sorority for members interests and benefits. What is so unique about your organization that girls can't find something just as good if not better at your school? You really seem to bash national sororities to get your point across as seen here under FAQs: Many local sororities have more closely-knit groups of girls, allowing for a more intimate bond between sisters, as well as lower dues. |
I don't see it as bashing national sororities. These are benefits of local sororities on some campuses that may be a draw to a student considering joining a GLO. I don't think it is this way on every campus with local sororities. Sometimes locals are the same size as NPC groups on campus. But sometimes the local is smaller in numbers. Some girls find this less intimidating and that they will feel more comfortable in a smaller group. Locals may also have lower dues because they don't have to financially support a house or pay dues to a national organization in addition to local dues. Honestly, my local sorority used some of these selling points when marketing ourselves to PNMs. We wanted to get the point across that we offered a valuable Greek experience, yet we were different than the large housed national groups on campus.

To someone who is looking at joining a local sorority with 20 sisters versus a large national with over 200, it is easier to get to know every single person. Is it this way on every campus? No. I don't know the specifics of Wayne State GLOs, so I can't speak to the numbers on that campus. Being in a local sorority is a unique experience. But no, I don't think the bonds developed are "unique" or "better than" the bonds developed in a chapter of a national organization.

Yes, I am aware of the fact that Wayne State has chapters of national organizations. Where exactly am I commenting on the specifics of that university's situation? I'm speaking to my general experience as a member of both a local sorority and an NPC sorority. I don't see where she is "bashing" nationals. Perhaps you are reading more into her website comments than is intended. I think the website is trying to point out its differences from other orgs on campus, but is not doing so in the most panhellenic or effective way.

I'm a little bit confused. Is Omega Psi Chi now seeking to expand? I read through the website and I got the impression it was specific to Wayne State.

I'm simply disagreeing with your interpretation. I'm not arguing, being snarky, picking on you, insulting you or using sarcastic emoticons.

Xidelt, I don't really care what you were trying to do. I pay a lot less attention to your posts than you pay to mine. Please feel free to give your opinion. Just know that, like the many other posts you make to argue with me, I don't really put much thought into how you think or feel. |
I'm commenting on this because I'm very passionate about local Greeks, not because you are in this thread.

(I am skeptical of over-usage of the word "unique," but I qualify my observation by admitting to membership in the FB group Nitpickers Against Language Abuse.) |

I thought newer GLOs stopped using the "unique" catchword in the 1990s. People have long figured out that every GLO is "different...just like everyone else." |
