It is an LOL word. :D

(He was married 3 times so I'm apparently not the only person who found him handsome.)

Actually, these are all just thread hijacks.

Do family recs even count? I thought one would be considered a "Letter of Introduction," but a whole gaggle of them wouldn't hold as much weight as one or two recs from someone not related to the PNM.

I'd better watch out before this post is considered too mean! :eek:

I second the request! I know for my group anyone can fill out a Legacy Introduction Form but I'm pretty sure in practice it's mostly the family member of the PNM (and for some reason I almost wrote "bride" here - LOL my cube neighbor is getting married this weekend).

I'm so under-educated on recs, STILL.

As for southernbelleRANDOMSTRINGOFNUMBERS (how many times have we seen THAT name on GC?), perhaps prior to calling usernames out on being rude, one should take a look at whether or not calling someone racist for objecting to black face but not white face is appropriate?

ALSO, you flounced DAYS ago. Either stick to your promise or don't, but stop trolling. You added nothing of value to this thread.

This is ridiculous. How old are you, anyway?

Personally, I think you're just embarrassing yourself, your sorority and whatever school you attend.

As for "standards you have to live with," umm, what? That's ridiculous, too. I can't imagine a school where people think a size six is fat. Like, really? How tiny is this school (# of people-wise) that this opinion is so pervasive? What happens to a girl who's a 6? Is she suddenly "the fat girl" and that's it?

This is ridiculous. I'm not saying southernbelle14 is a troll, but still, we're all feeding her wayyyyy too much. Especially if she goes to a school where a size 6 is "fat." ;)

I had recs but didn't need them. I should be writing more of them, but I just don't know that many HS seniors who are remotely interested in Greek Life.

My hometown Panhellenic is really on-point, considering it's a small town and it consists primarily of retired women. They have regular events throughout the year, have a Greek Life panel for HS seniors and their mothers, and have a cocktail party over Christmas Break for collegiates.

I wish my hometown Panhellenic had more interest in helping with recs! Given the competitiveness of USC rush (can't really speak to UCLA rush, but I doubt it's significantly less competitive), it would be nice to have our Panhellenic available to help.

No, dude, OP is way over-sensitive, or mis-read your post or something. You were very helpful.

It is about time KSUViolet got called at as the evil timultuous GC meanie that she is.

It just sounds like the OP got butthurt because you exposed her at her little trick. Of course her special snowflake was going to be on the first bid list--she visited the house!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I think the OP misread your statement as an accusation and not a warning in general. I'm assuming she has since figured that out. I was a little perplexed at the response to your (what I thought was) helpful post. Maybe we should have a rule that lurkers need to read a set number of threads all the way through before being allowed to post. There would be a lot less hurt feelings and misunderstandings on here!

.

Agreed. And a Moderator at that. Violet, how do you sleep at night knowing ur in threadz crushin' teh dreamz?

It is really difficult to post on Greekchat with all of the mean moderators. I find it hard to just type the most civil exchanges. :(

I found this post informative because I would thought exactly what you posted. Even tho I don't have any kids I would have thought that making a visit would give the legacy a leg up.

When I read it I also had to reread all the previous posts thinking I missed something. :p

Tritto! I had no clue where that came from-I saw nothing wrong with her posts, so I didn't get it.

You know, I was literally thinking about this today. I need to find out if there is a real word for the person after "ditto" to use.

I thought that your post was fine.

Regarding recs, I agree that 2-3 *quality* recs for each chapter at all three universities would be the ideal. By quality I mean that the recommender knows the daughter personally and can give a rounded picture of her.

The OP might also consider telling her daughter to leave the DZ legacy status off of the general application form for recruitment (on the campuses that have DZ chapters.) DZ will already know her legacy status through the recs. No other chapter needs to know.

On another website I've used, they started using "tritto," but I'm not sure if it's a legitimate word. I actually doubt that it is.

Not a word per se - but on the urbandictionary "me three" since 2006

Visiting Chapter Houses
 

To go way back to the beginning of this thread (skipping over the tumult and the storm): I think it is a GREAT idea to visit your chapter houses when you and your daughter go on campus visits. She is no longer regarding college as some place her parents were but as some place that she is going to be -- and, similarly, Greek life as not just what mom did but what she might do. The collegiate members will undoubtedly be tickled pink (or is that pink and green?) that both an alumna and a pnm/legacy are visiting. They darn well better receive you cordially!

As I posted on another GC forum, a month ago I returned to my college campus for the first time in many years. I visited both my dorm room and my chapter house (now occupied by a fraternity), and drove past the places I had summertime apartments. Ah, the memories!
