I stand by the notion that being overly obvious about details is still different from actually saying the name of the school. Even if only for the sake of being searchable when you look for "University X" posts.

:)

Valid point.

I don't think that you can say ugly things about a group while being obvious about who or where you're talking about on this site without being called out. I don't see any problem with naming the school since just the fact that people posted about finding the name easily will prompt any average person to find the school in three clicks. als63 just saved everyone a little time.

Thank you. As said before-I wasn't trying to be hateful. In fact, instead of getting upset FOR the OP, maybe we should be a little more disgusted that she has pretty much disrespected a GLO on her campus and (once again) only a few clicks away or KNOWING people who attend this University makes it easy to figure out what chapter she is talking about. As someone who has a GLO at that campus, I'm a bit irritated that she felt the need to tell us how hateful she was to this GLO that was trying to get to know her and other PNMs.

Deciding that a chapter is "undesirable" and standing in the back while eating their food and ignoring them is just plain....B****y. No one can argue that. I'm almost curious, however, to know where she went. I'm just hoping she isn't a member of my GLO trash talking other chapters on campus. That would be very disappointing...:(

KSUViolet, I'll ride the conspiracy theorist bandwagon all around Philadelphia with you - I'm glad you had the balls to call her out on it.

Could someone please clarify something about this story for me though. Never having gone through sorority recruitment myself, I was under the impression that you were sort of given to a sister as you walked in the door and bumped around to other sisters while at the party. I assumed that you wouldn't even have the option of being so rude as to hide behind the snack table because you would be "forced" to talk to someone. What's the deal?

As someone who lives in the Philly 'burbs - I noticed this too, but just thought that was me being a consipirist...

Also, while Villanova isn't in Philly "proper" -- its pretty close and it and has 9 sororities.

I completely agree with you! I was excited when I saw a new recruitment thread (this one), slightly disappointed when I came to the realization that this one would never finish, and then EXTREMELY skeptical when another Philadelphia recruitment thread came out. I WANT to believe that these two stories, especially the beach one which is still looking like it's going to continue, are real...but with recent events (eaglesbaby), I can't help but be doubtful. I hope I'm proven wrong!

And yes, the whole thing with TWO Philadelphia storys and eaglesbaby = Philadelphia Eagles, too much of a coincidence.

As does Delaware. However, both have deferred recruitment. The OP implies a fall formal recruitment.

Exactly.

I'm thinking that no chapter at Drexel or anywhere else is damaged by this.

If I were a pnm getting ready to go to school in the Philly area I would take all of this with a grain of salt. It is suspect how there have been multiple threads within the past couple of months with striking similarities. I hope that any pnm trying to get advance information on here would recognize that we have an aspiring fiction writer on here.

The chapters on these threads often include the athletic girls, the old money girls, the beautiful tanned and toned girls, and the awkward girls from the undesirable chapter. Not to be mean, but it isn't even very original.

I hope no chapter at Drexel is damaged by this-if this is the school she is talking about. Zeta commented that I had no problem "outing" the school because my chapter does very well there-I wasn't intentionally implying that it was "no big deal-because-hey...it's not MY GLO." I was trying to say that whether or not it was my GLO, the point is that you should not be talking about how you disrespected a chapter on that campus-in such a way. When I said that, I was trying to explain that I wasn't sticking up for that chapter because I was getting defensive because it was mine...I was saying that, in the spirit of Greek unity, NONE of us should stand for letting people trash talk any of the NPCs, as if they don't all have something incredible to offer many women.

I think what you posted was fine. Not to mention, unless you actually know what chapters are struggling at Drexel, you'd have no idea which chapter she was talking about (if it isn't all just made up anyway!) I looked at all of the websites for chapters at Drexel, and every single chapter looked like normal girls. I can't tell you just be digging whether any of those chapters are struggling!

[QUOTE=jetage;1815390I clicked with her immediately, being that my major was fashion merchandising, [/QUOTE]

Well this part sure gave it away for me. I would be quite surprised if Penn had a fashion merchandising major.
