To end it all
 

Because I have left only 33 messages does not mean anything. Do we judge people on how many times they post or what they post? As moderator, I think you should be more open minded to all types of posts and ideas. However, I agree that they had good ideas and I took them as that. I thanked them for their ideas. I listened rationally to their ideas. To make decision based on others and not on your own is stupid though. Nobody will ever learn anything if they don't learn for themselves. And again I understand they were looking out for my house. Thats great. But why an anonymous informant? Why not say straight up who they were? If they think it so important, then why not admit to it? I am a little disturbed at the fact that someone would go around our backs like that "to protect us". As for the person that did that, please don't do it again. And for the Gamma Chi's and the rest of GC, thanks for being there for me and my house. I appreciate it. Really. Thanks Again.

ThetaXi - Seriously, you need to just grow up. I want to hear from you in 5 years when you are an alum and you will see for yourself that that charter on the wall is worth A WHOLE LOT more than it is to you now.

LeslieAGD - good job with your post!

Tom - great advice - as usual, *some* people just have to put their nose in a pile of $h!t before they will believe that it stinks!

Re: TV Show looking for frat/sorority event
 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sending crashers to our event. Somehow I dont think that whoever masterminded this plan was a KA, nor had the considered the reprocusions of sending "crashers" to a KA event, and the only people in on the crash would be the "crashers", the Pres, and the social chair? How could I put this in perspective. The Pope, The Queen, and George W are all very powerful people, but do you think that they alone could bring a charging herd of bulls to a screaching halt by simply waving their hands and yelling? I probably said that wrong but I think I generally got the point across.

I appreciate good brainstorming as much as the next guy Mr. Thompson, but somehow, I just dont see this as what you would call "fool proof"

Re: To end it all
 

What does gamma chi have to do with anything?

I'm inclined to agree too. I don't have a problem with reporting someone for misconduct (of any sort), but this wasn't a case of actual misconduct for anyone except perhaps the original poster.

You can't punish a person until they actually do something wrong. I saw a definite potential for rule-breaking here, but I think it's a waste of time to report someone for *potentially* committing a crime. That's like saying, "You're home alone and you have a box of matches. You could commit arson so you'd have money to pay your tuition. We're going to arrest you for having the potential to commit a crime."

This seems to be a minority report, but I think whomever did that may have done Theta and his chapter a huge service. (Has it occurred to anyone that it might have been one of his brothers -- wasn't there another taking part in the thread or not?)

Had Jay gone ahead with his original intention, who knows what the outcome might have been.

I've had to be protected against myself on occassion and now I am thankful.

As for Jay's tirade against alums (and parents), he may change his mind as time passes.

Edit point:

Just after I posted the above, I ran into this quote on a broadcasting bulletin board I often read, and thought it was interesting given the above:

"They've lived longer, they're more confident about their choices and they don't have to be hip and cool anymore, which I think is a godsend - you make really bad choices when you are trying to be hip."
- Jodie Foster on why she's looking forward to turning 40 in November.

Right or Wrong that someone from GC wrote that paticular Greek Org. did it with a faith that maybe they did not know know they were doing wrong, unless it was a sniper!

I think, WE as Members ot the Greek Community on this site are concerned about not only our Organizations, but for All of our Organizations.

We as one stand tall or not at all!

Thanks Delt!!

I figured that was the case. Besides, if anything is non-union it is generally a bad idea, at least in the entertainment industry. Unions controll everything.

I agree with Delt...
 

I have to say that I, too, think that informing Headquarters wasn't a bad idea. Those that argue that you can't punish someone for a crime they haven't yet committed are correct and I hope that the chapter isn't in any trouble because, no, they have not done anything wrong.

With that said, I think that many of us can site examples of times when a chapter should have sought advice from advisors/headquarters/(Inter)National Council, but didn't. (I am not making an assumption of what Theta would or wouldn't have done). I would guess that all of our organizations would much rather give guidance during the planning stages of an event than help pick up the pieces after something goes terribly wrong.

All I'm saying is this, if this anonymous report kept a chapter out of trouble and kept the greek image from being further tarnished, then, hey, that's okay with me.
