When you know much more about what's going on with other GCers than you do about members of your own family!

hannahgirl 02-15-2004 12:58 AM

when you check your mail everyday and you have massive amounts of email but they are only massive amounts of GC thread post replies.....

when you are in charge of recruitment and you are frantically worried about where the next PNM on GC is going and have to take a break from recruitment prep to hop online and check....

when you start being invited to all the GC Chat parties every night (hey by the way....have there been any lately??)...

when James starts IMing you just to randomly talk ;)

--you log on GC when you first wake up and it's the last thing you do before you go to bed.

--you reply to any post you can possibly relate to just to up your post count :D

--you can start predicitng who will be the first to reply to something and what they'll say

--you make GreekChat your homepage

--you need advice on something in your life and you start a thread about it in Chit Chat before talking with your real life friends

[Nobody invites me to GC chat parties. Hmmph.)

You feel like you know other GCers just because you've read so many of their posts but you wouldn't know them if you ran into them on the street.

No one invites me either....maybe we'll have to go start our own GC chat party :D

But, back to the topic at hand.....you know you're on GC too much when you're at school and you start wondering about the latest drama to hit the fan :o

decadence 03-23-2004 12:11 PM

Start your own then. :) And hey, it no-one comes... it's your party and you can cry if you want toooo. :p

You're on too much when...
 
You leave the Gulf of Mexico and a white crushed shell beach to check if you have new messages or asinine posts to read on GC ;)









P.S. Hi!!!

When you have so many GCer's on your buddy list that you don't have room for 'real' friends and start thinking of making a screen name just for GC Chats......(no I haven't done it....yet...)

hottytoddy 03-23-2004 11:50 PM

When you see J-Lo's cologne in the store called GLO and you automatically think Greek Letter Organization.

That happens to me too. I'm always telling my boyfriend, "They said..." and he's like who are "they?" And I say, you know, the people on that Greek message board and he goes, :rolleyes: "Oh Lord, you're a dork."

Also, you know you're on GC too much when you get annoyed because you actually have something to do at work (which doesn't happen very often) and it cuts into your GC time.

ThetaPrincess24 04-29-2004 05:37 PM

You spend too much time on GC when you bend over backwards and what not trying to meet as many GC'ers as possible(basically where you live and anywhere you tend to travel to), pretty soon all you date or try to date is from GC(no matter how far away from you they are), and thus your life apparently revolves around getting on GC or GC in general.............*off my soapbox*.


Dislcaimer: I apologize if this has been stated previously, but I'm too lazy to read through pages of posts to find out.

AOIIsilver 04-29-2004 06:11 PM

You know you are on GC too much when you are at a DAR meeting and mention, "Honeychile, said this" and "Honeychile, said that" and you realize that the ninety-year-old women think that you are calling them "Honey child.":D

Your husband makes you give up GC for Lent, cold turkey; and your sisters wonder if something is wrong. :(

You GC when your dissertation is due. :eek:

You only notice the trash needs taking out when the can next to the computer is too full.

When you know real names and email addresses of GCers, or when you are even on the same campus, or even work together, and your first thought when you have news of any kind is "I need to go PM honeychile, ZTALUVBUNNY, pirepresent and adpiucf....."

When you're expecting PM's more than you're expecting emails.

When you've recruited at least 2 GCers to come work with you.

When you have friends in your town sitting by the phone to hear about recruitment yet you feel obligated to let GC know what happened first...

When you refer to it as GC in real life instead of GreekChat.

hahaha... I just saw this, and it reminded me of something the ATO chapter at MIT did one year during rush. There is a Sheraton in Boston, right across the river from campus, that has a big "SHERATON" sign that is lit up at night. The ATOs shorted out the S, H, E, R, and N. Great advertising. ;)

ok... </hijack>

You use "GC" as not only an acronym for a noun but also for an action verb!

Yup. MIT has a tradition of "hacking" which includes pranks such as putting a campus police car on top of the Great Dome, redecorating the main lobby to look like a cathedral, etc. GLOs generally don't get involved, but ATO apparently borrowed a page from the tradition.

One of the rules of hacking is that you must do no permanent damage. I would hope that the ATOs honored this and left the short-outs easily reversible.

...the BF is begging for attention and you tell him to hang on because you haven't checked GC in 3 days. :)

This reminds me of how the Theta Chis at UCLA changed the Hollywood sign to read "GO BRUINS" during Beat '$C week my senior year.
