And that is why you are one of the Special G C Posters.

Thank You for just being you!;)

So should she call you Big Sister AlphaFrog now? ;)

I thought I was your favorite poster. :(

co-sign!

double co-sign! lol thanks senusret:o

and as a 'newbie'...may I ask the damning question...

Slylark since u are so new....who are you to say that the folks running this board need to change membership policies?


Just thought I would ask....

I said "one of". You and 33 automatically tie for #1. tld221 and CT4 tie for #2...they'd be up there too, except they're SisterGreeks instead of just plain Sisters.:D:D

I think they wanted u....not me...but thanks anyways....LOL

while i could be mad for being #2, it truly is an honor to even be nominated.

::sniffle, sniffle, breaks crown in half to share with CT4::


ETA: i already know what rashid looks like...

Oh, my little onyx and emerald friend.... of course they want me. But damn if they didn't start treating you better when that pic was posted, lol.

Ebony and Jade....hehehe

Y'all I'm crying. You need to stop.:D:p

Aw man.... shot down. And by my own BigSis-ass-hander-AF. What a load of crap.

GC really needs to monitor its membership more closely. Grrrrr :mad:

it's almost as if they are giving memberships away..heh

i swear i need a Rashid-on-a-keychain so i can take him wherever I go.

actually, ill take an AF-on-a-keychain, and have Rashid in person.

::slides him the best Jetblue ticket money can buy::

ebony and jade....onyx and emerald... red beans and rice.... whatever. lol

If y'all had come and step at our show back in 1998 when I invited y'all, maybe I would remember!

(True story! I would always invite your bros to this show at Georgetown, but you never came. :()

LMAO.... we need to meet and soon!

that's cuz u sent the invites to the WRONG PERSON!

I would find out about them things AFTER THE FACT.....lemme guess...u sent them to one of my frat bruhs at college park or Bowie huh?

See....they would get them and then be like.... "See what had happened was... we wuz gon' go but...."

punks.....

Do u also know Tasheen? alias In4mous

because he sends me a lot of stuff locally

Heck you need to sign up for Shout Out Central on yahoo...u can connect with some of your people there too.

He's an Iota...I think he crossed Spring 96

I felt this thread need a Cat Macro to be complete.

crazy newbie GCer? check
Tom Earp response? check
snarky response from Dionysus/AF/whoever else? check
Senurset I "i'm so hot" hijack? check
cat macro? check

are we missing anything else?

Tasheen is ridiculously ubiquitous.

I used to lurk on SOC and I met the Delta who owned it back in 97. But I don't know them well enough to be all in the mix. Wasn't an Alpha until 03.

I have no idea who I sent the invites to..... most likely the real fair skinned dude.

I think we have it just about covered. :)

SHIM/SKEPi/intimidated by my hotness/Gamma Chi/other GC inside joke reference.

We're missing the thread lock/deletion predictions, but other than that, I think you've got it.

Oh, and teh cult. We're missing teh cult.

a warning from a moderator or a lock?

Rudey

Best Thread Ever?

Should we vote?

Ahh the wonderous life that is GC. It might be just me, but i'm kinda wishing that long-banned members would come back, just to give us some entertainment. I guess only in my dreams...bwahaha.

No, I think 'Shid's Retro still has that honor.

Usually I'm quick to hijack but your post (kind of sadly) seems in earnest.

Anyway, I read through some of your posts, and I'm not sure "belittled" is really what I would term it - you said something silly, then argued about it. Not a super endearing start to your career, but it's not like you stabbed a dude. It seems you didn't really check out the (decidedly different) culture of the Chit Chat and Rush areas, which make the other, nicer fora appear as Utopian as Fourier himself imagined.

Esoteric bullshit aside - seriously, you're being overly sensitive here.

Most of us did, in fact, jump all over new members for one reason or another - in fact, this is kind of why pledging exists, to correct issues with new members before they become fully initiated.

It's obviously not a problem, but you're seeing in the responses why searching is (vehemently) encouraged - you're throwing stones against the monolith here, and I'm not sure why you think the monolith should be torn down at your request (and, more importantly, to your benefit).

that would probably be Elden....I was his DP...he crossed @ UMES back in 98 and as a matter of fact I was in his wedding this past Sunday....

hey stop thru the board...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/socjun...yguid=97682720

It's the same on any internet message board. Newbies who dive right in without knowing the posting climate/knowing how to search/having completely correct information are flamed. We were all new to GC at one point and asked questions that have been asked a million times and are easy to answer now. Just sit back, search, and you'll see how GC operates. Most posters observe and get involved in chit chat first before diving into extensive Greek threads. Many posters on GC have learned a lot from each other and can answer questions quickly and efficiantly.

If you don't like it and don't want to get flamed, don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you :p

Back on track (for a moment) - yes. We handed you the proverbial olive branch, and you wouldn't let it go. Most of us, me included, have been handed our asses a hell of a lot worse than what happened earlier to you. You can get over it, learn from it, and continue to post, or you can leave. It's not going to make an overall difference to the rest of us either way.

I rarely post on here, but reading this thread (and other recent ones) it appears that people do not seem to get that life is going to be this way, on a message board or not.

You're new, you know little, you make mistakes, you correct them and learn, and move on. This is the cycle in almost anything. Brush yourself off and move on.

oh right, lest not forget the declaration of "omgz you guyz are a bunch of meanies i hate you all im never coming back :stomps e-feet around and refuses to post for 10 minutes pretending not to care:" from crazy newbie GCer.

wait for it, wait for it...

Even though she's not "long" banned, I am all for the return of nonchalant, dammit!

I really don't want to feed the trolls... but... BMburden? Can't Exlax help that?

I'm new, but can I be the helicopter mom?

I can say that new and old alike get their butts handed to them if they don't mind their Ps & Qs or provide inaccurate info, both slight and blatant. If you're wrong, people here are going to tell you, and that's better than people running around with bad info. If you're looking for sunshine to be blown in dark places, don't come to GC.

Skylark-- save yourself the heartache, accept that people on the internet are going to be snarky. Afterall, it's not personal, its GC!

What this thread is missing . . .
 

- we need a discussion of the lack of sophistication.
And I come to GC for my recommended daily allowance of snark.
