They told me what I already know which is that you all are a bunch of losers in real life who need the Internet to feel good about yourselves. You make Greekdom look so bad and I'm happy you aren't in my chapter. I wonder what your headquarters would think if I emailed this to them.

My first thought was binturong but a) no one else knows what that is (not even spellcheck) and b) it's moving too much for the ones I know.

Moving? It's... falling over.

I do think that ks is right though. We used to be the "kids" of GC and now we're working, getting married, having kids, starting grad/med/etc. school or advancing in our careers and we don't have time like we used to. I know that during the week, my time is pretty limited. The only reason I'm on at 2pm on a Monday is because of Spring Break at work (in a school.)

You seen a binturong in a zoo? The two at ours could have been dead and no one would have noticed.

Falling is moving to much for a binturong.

christiangirl 03-29-2011 12:29 AM

I started looking up binturongs, then I got distracted by pix of similar creatures....

GC is the only social website that I don't check from my phone.

Also, when I have a few minutes to hop on my computer, I'll look at the recent threads and nothing really sticks out, so I just move on.

Loving how on topic this thread stayed. #sarcasm
Definitely some hilarious posts scattered throughout, though. ilaughed

The site upgrades have made me very lazy.

This. I can't remember the last time I went into a forum and not just into new topics. Whenever John changed the site, it seems like one forum (new posts) with the individual forums being more like a classification of the post.

Look, because you’re new, and I’m bored and in a good mood, I’m going to help you out. Here are just some of the rules of Greekchat, and little things you need to know:

1) If you claim it happened in a PM, it didn’t happen. We need proof.
2) Most likely, the only people who have ever agreed with you live in Happy Pony Rainbow Land. If you haven’t been there, you should definitely go. I hear it’s lovely this time of year.
2) If we’re such losers, don’t come here looking for advice.
2) We feel good about ourselves, regardless of whether or not we’re on the interwebz. We rock!
3) Sequined hose are not allowed.
4) We’re happy we’re not in your chapter, too. This way, we don’t have to put up with your crap… or actually pretend that you’re fo’ realz.
5) Don’t EVER type in pink. THAT’S KSUVIOLET’S COLOR!!!!!!!one!!1!!!!
6) The people at HQ are our home dawgs. Don’t be messin’.

Binturong

Confession: I Googled it.

Kevin 03-29-2011 10:19 AM

Perhaps new folks are answering their questions via the search function like we ask them to?

As for us alumni members, which most of us are now, many have simply moved on. Kids these days are a lot more savvy about finding information out for themselves, and the resources seem much more readily available. For example, I have a cousin who is going through recruitment at OU in the Fall (I believe). She has already been in touch with my brother's wife who is a Chi Omega alumna, with my aunt who is a Kappa Alpha Theta, etc., getting her recs lined up. She's registered with the local panhellenic which allows her to print out the rec forms and register and such.

As far as actives go, many chapters have strict online policies, so that may be affecting new non-spammer registrations.

I've decided that I don't need GC anymore. This isn't the place for me. I need a place where you can speak freely without getting beaten up for it. Goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeee!

But Wiki says they can travel up to 1400 feet a day. Kind of like a slug.

As long as KSUViolet is still in school, I think we'll all still be ok. :)

My sole reasoning for going back was to increase the time I could spend on GC during the day. True story.

Artificial Trainwrecks are my specialty.

My husband needs to do something stereotype-worthy so that next time things get boring around here I have some test-tube Race War material.

That's been my mission. I've been on the lookout for a story about a gay black Muslim immigrant from Mexico who lost his job. I figure that could keep us busy for a while.

Saw one yesterday about a TSA agent who got fired because she was a witch and supposedly cast a spell on her co-worker's car heater. They tried to make her have a sit-sit with that co-worker to discuss her religion, but she refused, claiming it wouldn't be an issue if she were a Jew.

/Best I got on short notice.

Best part of the whole article was the witch saying something along the lines of if she really could cast a spell on objects, she'd use it on the lottery balls and not be working for TSA.

QFPossible Witchage. We'll have to weigh her and find out.

Sigh. Okay.

More of those alleged PMs, hmmm?

DrPhil 03-29-2011 02:43 PM

I wish they were jokingly alleged PMs this time. LOL.

There is at least one such thread every recruitment season.

That's what's great about this thread - it's pretty much the antithesis of those threads.

It's me saying that I better see some more snarkage going on here or I'll be forced to bludgeon a newbie, start a race war, cause natural disasters on small island nations, or heaven forbid, actually get some work done.


Yes, I'm going to hell, but I'll hit the A/C on my way down for the rest of you heathens.

We'll have at least 2 more this year, I guarantee it. At least one in August. Usually earnest, about how we run off PNMs and crush their dreams or some shit.

I'm glad the first was started by a meanie.

(I mean that meanie comment seriously - God what a bitch.)
