Take a look, children. Perhaps being too absorbed in pop culture phenomenons has dulled your minds to popes. I wouldn't be suprised if Father Lando took his name from Pope Lando. I won't tolerate any more Catholic hate speech and linking pictures to screen captures of "Blues Brothers" in order to bash my faith.

Please keep this civil.

Tomsoda, as a Christian and a member of an NPC women's fraternity, I am appalled that you want to blame your failings on your fraternity. The "whole frat life" that you describe were all things that you chose to participate in, not things that were forced upon you by members of your fraternity. Did the brothers strap you to a chair to brutally haze you, pour alcohol down your throat, and force you to perform with sorority girls? If so, I'd be going to to police rather than trying to ban Greek Life-affiliated schools from the College Board web site. I think you need to spend some more time with your Bible and less time blaming those you allowed to influence you. You can blame no one but yourself for your sins.

And the fact that you can believe that obtaining 1000 "signatures" (I use the term loosely, as none of us are interested in your ridiculous cause) on a Greek Life-affiliated web site can convince the College Board to remove information of hundreds, possibly thousands, of colleges nationwide which have affiliation with Greek Life is absurd. Take your nonsensical ramblings elsewhere, we have no time for them here.

Oh my God.. now that you put it like that, I see the light! As a Catholic, I should never have joined a fraternity. Father Lando and his rainbow tent could have saved me.. but alas, all is lost... :(

You are so right. The college board should totally kick all of those campi off of its board! Then it could display Alfred... Liberty College, Bob Jones, I think Panhandle State here in Oklahoma is devoid of Greek Life (among many other things)... Southern Nazarene University..

Come on.. can anyone name a few others?

Yes, the College Board website will sacrifice its status as a worthwhile resource to HS students just to prove the point of the original poster... especially because such heavyweights as kddani and ktsnake have "signed" the petition!

-- I motion that a thread mod rename this "dumbest thread ever."

Is there a second?

ETA: I want to commend kddani on her excellent choice on a random picture.

It's our board. We'll play how we want. A crusading anti-greek person comes to a greek message board expecting to be treated well?

Obviously your movement is tiny being that there's not even a website for it.

A lot of us here are Catholic. No one's bashing the Catholic faith. Actually, this sounds like a jump-off from the Catholic faith anyway, so you're not really a Catholic.

BTW- We're bashing your "ideas" that you can't even back up.

You made your own mistakes, and like the trend in this country, refuse to take responsibility for your own actions and choices, and you want to blame everyone else but yourself.

PS- I'm Catholic. Neener neener neener.
PPS- Naming himself after a Pope? Ever hear of the sin of pride?

Hey Tomsoda -- I think "God" is a myth people made up to make themselves feel better.

Gee, what about all those Catholic colleges that have greek systems?????

And the College Board removing all those schools from its website would accomplish what exactly????

I think Tomsode should change his name to Internet_Preacher. He and Internet_Lawyer could have a lot of internet babies to promulgate the Catholic faith.

Tomsoda makes me think of that obnoxious song Tom's Diner.

I am posting here on Greek Chat
I am pimping my "petition"
I'm deluded and not too bright
I really need a life

doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

This is a fair request. Let's all play nice, kidz.

I don't know the song... but I sure know Tom's Diner.
I'm hungry now!

What was her name again? Suzanne Vega?

"Luka" was one of my favorites.

You can get a big Greek omelet
But the service sure is crappy
At the one that's on the South Side
And down in Dormont, too

doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo

I'm signing off because this is worse than the Green Eggs and Ham pentameter as far as being able to do it for hours.

Tom, I believe in God, and am a Christian. You, however, are the reason people often choose not to. Congratulations.

Re: Petition regarding Greek life
 

1.) You are a moron.
2.) Do you really think 1000 posts from a bunch of well to do Fraternity men and Sorority women bashing your ignorant claims are going to sway some college board administrator to pull off that kind of a rash horseshit action.
3.) You have some "great" ideas....lets detract America's youth from going to Ivy League schools and other top universities because they have greek systems. Sweet Jesus, this really pisses me off.
4.) I think it was 95% of Fortune 500 CEO's and Congress are all Greek....shit the system "has" to be messed up.
5.) You were probobly "that guy" in your fraternity that was brutally hazed so they would try to get you to quit. You endured it so they let you stay out of pity. You then remained at the bottom rung of your house and served out the rest of your time in the Greek life as the biggest douchebag on campus.

Congrats, you suck at lfe........go step into traffic.
