Boys/Frats

Bashing another sorority

Parties


  • If a PNM asks about which fraternities 
    • “SDT is a social sorority, so we mix with all Greek organizations on campus. We  participate in philanthropy events together, such as bagged lunches... go into events we do with them”
  • PNM starts bashing another sorority:
    • “SDT has really good relations with the other Greek organizations on campus. We value empowering other women instead of competing with each other.”
  • PNM starts talking about parties
    • “There are parties hosted on campus that are approved by the OFSA/OSI office; however, there is no requirement for you to attend any party.” Then you could go to campus involvement activities
