Me, too.

Here's my first problem with this PNM judging actives issue:

The girls you are looking at are not for sure actives. One of my pledge sisters (who has been an alum for two years but her profile does not indicate the year she graduated) has a Facebook photo that says "all the Gamma Phis toasting X at her wedding" and there are pictures of a bunch of us holding up wine/champagne/cocktails (and yes, even some beer bottles) toasting the bride. We are alumnae! We are allowed to drink alcohol! :rolleyes:

If you don't want to join a house where sisters of age are allowed to consume alcohol, then don't. However, suggesting this is really not going to help you, as OTW pointed out in her post. I really think that you should stop posting on GC ASAP if you would like to entertain any thoughts of getting a bid. How many junior transfers will be going through at your school? You are probably very easily identifiable.

AOII has no ban on drinking in letters, nor does several other groups that were on my campus. All four sororities went to PIKEFest every year clothed in bid day shirts (usually sewn letters) and drank PIKE punch until we were all tipsy. Some groups may have a rule against it, but in my humble opinion, I won't do anything out of my letters that I wouldn't do in them! If it's a rule of the sorority in general or of the chapter, then I'd follow it. Otherwise, I don't think it is disrespectful.

That may be the first thing I agree with you on.

never mind.

Oh come on, just say it.

Unlike me, they wish to remain anonymous.

Just don't be surprised if the sororities on your campus receive a NO-REC with your name on it. :rolleyes:

There won't be one until after recruitment. I am not afraid of retribution for my comments, but just that this year I want to focus all my energy on recruitment instead of coming back and posting the days events. I do plan on posting my results after the fact.
Well since you don't know where I will be going to school at will be kind of hard now won't it? And they do not know my name nor what I look like. You threaten has no consequences now does it?

FYI, you're not quite as anonymous as you think you are. You've put enough personal information about yourself out there that people can figure it out pretty quickly.

Too bad you let out too much information last year. People talk.

I don't know what campus you'll be at and I don't care.

But they do. They are GreekChat alums who will do absolutely anything necessary to make sure it's not their organization you join.

And they know your first and last name and how you look like. You can thank Facebook and MySpace and your lack of discretion in your UCF rush thread for that.

I haven't talked to anyone about Ocalagirl, but wouldn't finding out her real identity, the school she is attending, and then sending out no recs seems a bit extreme just because you didn't like her GC comments?

Certainly, I don't think everyone makes her decisions like I do, but just as I wouldn't recommend someone I knew only online with no connection in real life, I wouldn't No-Rec one either.

yes, what you write can haunt, follow u, and make u look silly
 

:)First, am not ca girl in Tex no more, have no idea why i used this other than back when i was in school Texas. No argument with Texas, CA home, and almost totally there, want to get to coast, if it is still there.
Anyway, it is just a silly example of what you write in the public domain can and may embarass you, your sisters.
Want to have a temper tamtrum or even if you feel you really have been wronged, just write it out for yourself first, even if it is page after page. Then, put it away overnight, read it the next day, and you might find yourself asking "Who is this person?"
Having an argument with a room mate, sister, chapter, your school, whatever, try to find someone to listen.
Many prospective employers are turning to Facebook and the like to learn more about job applicants--do you really want drunken dancing on top of tables or a rant to represent who you are?
Having worked in the media, reporters looking into matters are aware of online sites too. Nothing like a credibility problem for you, your house if things are public, and yes, that includes Facebook. Ditto all those cell phones with cameras. Zip, into the computer, and yes, the whole world can watch.
