[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 656087, member: 17461"] I suppose that is the whole purpose of a sorority or fraternity, isn't it. To exclude others and, by doing so, elevate the self. To agree to help one another, but not the excluded [I]them.[/I] So, depending on how they are structured, these organizations are actually very bad things. You are right, SWOT. It is like an organization devoted to taking everything good away from anyone not "with" us and making those good things happen for one another, instead. That is human nature, though. Religions do the same, and are done to the same. (Boy, are we having a look at that, these days.) There are those who believe that, secure in the excess of enough food, enough joy, enough clothing and music and education for the first time in all of Time, human nature will change. I think we are seeing that. People are speaking out instead of accepting that they are "the other guy" because of race or educational status or breeding. With the advent of internet, we are seeing public outrage over things that used to be secret. Maybe that is the changed thing, and not human nature, at all? We do need to speak out about victimization. It is hard to see it in the things we have always taken for granted. Good thread, SWOT. Thank you. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
