KSigRC was posting on it a few months before I was, and he suggested it to me. 9 years later, I'm still posting...

i tried to go back to my very first post to jog my memory, but alas, it has been 6 years so... yeah.

my join date is 12/5/03, sophomore year of college. i think it may have been a Google search, driven my a mix of not receiving a bid from any of the on-campus NPC/local orgs and being exponentially interested in NPHC orgs off-campus.

I was an inactive KD alumna for about 10 years when I decided I wanted to get involved again. While I was getting in touch with my local AA and waiting for their next event, I thought I'd try to find other KDs online. Somehow I ended up here.

I'll admit I showed up with a bad attitude and I have no idea why. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to shake the bad impression I made and, I guess, continue to make. Maybe my tenth year here will be better. Here's hoping.

I was Googling something about SigEp and the thread in the SigEp forum about either chapter dues or BMP vs. Pledging popped up.

Woo hoo.

I did a google search on big/little sis poems when I was a new member and greek chat was the first thing to pop up.

breathesgelatin, it was all her fault.

I found GC back when my son was a senior and I was trying to find out info for fraternity rush since it had been so long since my husband had been through it. I probably was being kind of helicoptery about nosing around, but I was strictly information gathering, not bitching, moaning or complaining :)

Anyway I stayed for the interesting reparte'. I also have a bit of sorority knowledge from my years of rec writing, and my friend's daughters experiences over the last few years, and share what I know with those who are interested.

For what it's worth coming from someone who HASN'T been here 10 years/has a low post count (come on guys.... I would have had to post as a 12-year-old; plus I got my first big kid job), I always thought you were one of the nice ones.

Maybe it's because your messages aren't accompanied by a barrage of smilies. The degree of which I read into what people say is inversely proportional to their desire to use emoticons.

Thank you OTW and Annabella. I wasn't fishing for compliments but, hey, I'll take 'em!

I really don't remember how I found GC, but I'm sure I was searching for something Kappa-related on Google. I stayed because you're all crazy just like me. :p

The active sisters on this board were talking about GC on Sister Circle, so I decided to check it out. I lurked for a while before I made my first post and then decided to join the party. I still have a pretty low post count though relative to my join date. I stayed on the board because I find it rather educational and entertaining.

I was bored one day and typed "Greek Life" into the search engine. I registered, but for some reason it wouldn't let me post. I sent a frantic e-mail to John and he helped me out.

My very first post was in the thread about the new Greek system at University of Arkansas-Fort Smith. Unfortunately, in a later post I made (what I thought) was an offhand comment about the selection system that someone took offense to (on GC???!!! Shocking!). But, it got settled quickly when I explained my OP.
