Makes me sad what is happening over at fratty.net... It's such a fun website, when you want to talk about the less-serious side of being in a fraternity/sorority

At least their message boards are entertaining. I love reading about how all GLO's use coffins as part of their rituals.

Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe how many people were putting up secret rituals. I assumed that most of it wasn't true and was just stuff that people heard from people, etc. I had a guy come up to me at a party once and try to do some secret Tri-Delt stuff, but it was waaay off.

I like the post from someone claiming to be an Old Miss TriDelt saying that you don't let minorities pledge. I laughed b/c there is a TriDelt chapter at my old school just chalk full of Latinas, Blacks, & Asians. These people are idiots but good for an occasional laugh. The sad thing is, I just bet there is some idiot out there taking all that nonsense as gospel. :rolleyes:

Oh. My. Gosh.

So, I went over to check out the message boards on fratty.net that everyone is talking about in this thread, and what did I see?

A user by the name of Kristin **********.

WOW, I guess I am impressed. I think?:confused:

"The Biggest % is Alums"? Where in the hell did that come from and who thinks they know?:rolleyes:

Well, just look at the count of People, Not Members who have signed onto to GC. Many do and dont post.

Well, maybe We are becoming Notorious, Infamous or Semi-Well K-Nown!;)

Bouy, I might nerd to check on that other site?

At Convention last year we were on strict orders from our International President not to even mention "GreekChat" officially.

I think it's on a chapter to chapter basis for us.

It's not nice to talk about Rudey when he's not here to defend himself. ;)

The things that they say about southern sorority girls is true. Sorry. Yes, I said it. As I'm sitting here in my Polo button-down, Ralph Lauren Jeans, Rainbows, and pearl earrings. Seriously. And I think that's why all of us southerners got into it faster. One of my ZTA friends is the one who introduced me to the board. I was laughing my butt off, because a lot of the stuff related to her (Lexus SUV... Fratty!) and then I realized that a lot of it was about me as well. I don't think it's about not thinking that highly about ourselves, rather being able to laugh at ourselves. Granted, some of the shacking stuff is a little degrading, but I mean, that stuff's not untrue, either.

OK... Go ahead... Rip me apart.

I'm not going to rip you apart. I wasn't very aware of the site in the past. Out of curiosity I checked out some of the message boards. What I personally disliked most were the pretty frequent slurs regarding skin color, ethnicity, and religion. "Slurs" may be too mild a term; "fighting words" is closer to the truth in some instances.

Just didn't seem like a site where I'd feel comfortable posting.

To be fair, though, I guess it would be a resource for anyone who wanted to argue at great length about the social rankings of Greeks at a relatively few mainly southern schools.

This site is a lot better, we have all the good topics, even the risque ones, without the idiots.

I am surprised anyone bothers to try, the few posters that mean well are overwhelmed by the . . . idiot posters.

Yeah, I agree with that. But, unfortunately, it's the way some people think. And anyway, I think it's more in fun. I wouldn't post either... unless I was trying to get out pent-up aggression concerning things that I can't say on this politically correct site.
