:confused:

Tippie, that's not a "newer member." That's Earp. Again. ;)

What the hell is this? We have always been civil and friendly, I thought. I didn't even know you liked recruitment threads. Guess I do now.

I have always liked you. I am actually a bit puzzled by your post. It's kinda coming out of left field for me and for the first time in history, I think I am speechless.

I thought we were just going off in this thread cause we could. :shrugs shoulders:

ETA: actually tippiechick, I'm pretty indifferent to retro threads-dont love or hate them. And you're actually not so bad yourself. I just didn't think retro threads were that big a deal to warrant a thread of such snark.

The fake/mock stories are funny but some take it too far until they're not funny. Those posters are just reaching. (So maybe were kinda saying the same thing? Dunno. GC just aint that deep to me.)

LMAO. It's so random as hell that it's funny as hell.

tld221: :rolleyes: FAIL.

Yes, but the NPC women CAN, and one of the biggest problems with the NaNoWriMo crowd is that they use the oldest and most untrue stereotypes. Even if they have a positive ending (OMG, I joined what I thought was the loser chapter and I'm sooooo happy) they don't present an accurate picture of Greek life. Silly heifer who had alcohol at rush parties amd multiple locals at a supercompetitive school rushing with the NPC groups being the first one I can think of.

Put it this way. Imagine if someone wrote a "my journey through NPHC researching" thread and the phrase "paper bag test" came up.

I love the top part of this post. I really did LOL.

Yeah, up until that I wasn't sure who really had the crazy. I can understand deciding that exposing yourself to that level wasn't worth it.

:( Lol damn, I'm usually good at these kinda things. Sigh.

If people started doing NPHC research threads, those threads would likely get closed immejjjjjjiately. LOL.

We don't need to hear about your journey to and through the NPHC. Retro or current.

Now watch some fools try to start that thread trend. :rolleyes:

Yeah, that was amazing. Even more amazing was the grief that those who called out the fakers received. Come on people- there is real life to be led. A fake recruitment story should never be the highlight of your day.

But some of them, and I'm thinking of the original pink sequined stockings thread, really were that entertaining purely as fiction.

Maybe moderators could invent a
"this story is completely unverified and likely contains falsehoods" label they could put on threads suspected of being fiction.

ETA: have you read the Sweet Valley High Twins: Rush thread? I really don't know the name of it, but it was awesomely entertaining, to me at least, but I've read Pledged too, come to think of it. Maybe I do enjoy reading fake rush stuff more than the average person.

7 pages into this...

Boy do y'all take your rush threads seriously. If some PNM really forms her world view based on reading fake rush stories on GC, she's going to have more problems than the ones we've helped create.

Oh noes. Teh falsehoods.

/back to my popcorn.

This should be the the label.

ETA: I think we're only having this talk because no one talks about AI anymore.

Considering her classless, boorish, insensitive manner and how she responded to Anchoralumna, you are my hero.

Let me reiterate......

Seriously, no one cares that you don't care about retro rush threads.

Kevin, don't get all uppity. This is no different than you shutting down rumor threads in the RM forum.

UGAalum94: the problem is, people get called out for being fake. They deny deny deny. The GCers in the kitchen with Dinah get pissed because they need their rush story fix and say DON'T SCARE HER OFF!! WE BELIEVE YOU, PNMSLUTT205! PLEEEEAASE COME BACK!

Like I said, if you're that desperate, go to the oldest pages of the recruitment stories forum.

Is there really a reason to get so butthurt about a poster's opinion (which several are in agreement with)?

Wow. The responses to this should be funny.

ETA: PNMSLUTT205 LOL!

I think it is the kitchen statement that got them up in arms. She was not only saying those threads suck but she seemed to be labeling some of the GCers who tend to like them. LOL.

But sometimes what you want to hear is how the heck the poster is going to pull that junk together. I don't think the Kitchen GCers want the recruitment fix as much as they want to see if the literary feat gets pulled off or not.

It's the more outlandish ones that I hate to see end in the middle because it would be some amazing if it could be concluded.

For example: after having martinis at XYZ, and being verbally assaulted in the bathroom at TUV, we had to fill out our pref list. I really didn't know if my multiple personality disorder best friend from high school was going to get a bid, and I was tempted to put QRS number one just so we could be sisters. But when I went to my rush group I realized that MPDBF got invites back to ABC, the best sorority on campus.

Typical GC user: I think you're lying.

(Of course she's lying. That's not the point.)

Rush thread poster: well if that's how you feel, I'm not telling the rest.

Could she have generated a conclusion that united all the elements of the plot? Now we'll never know. We've read that crap for nothing.

For the record, I didn't try to rip you a new one if you were thinking of me. It just seemed out of character for you.

ETA: Nevermind, I re-read the thread. I don't think you meant me.

Not butthurt....the butt is good. Thanks for asking. I just think that there is a way to post an opinion without getting personal.

And I agree with you completely. But that's not how Tippiechick rolls. You can enjoy it, or you can fight it, or you can quietly register a protest in the thread. (I've done all three at various points.)

But she's going to keep on keeping on because apparently it is the Tippiechick and GreekChat way.

I completely agree.

I don't want to read a fake story with ponies and rainbows that leads to a bid with the "best chapter" on campus. Why even waste time making something like that up? But sometimes, even when everyone knows a story is fake, but it's filled with such nonsense and all kinds of crazy, to the point where it's actually entertaining and you don't really care that it's fiction because the person really is that insane, you kind of want to see where they go with it and how outlandish it can really get.

I liken it to watching the Real World. It claims it's real, you know that half of it isn't, but sometimes, you can't help but watch the ridiculous people on it fail at life.

Exactly.

Now, now, let's not rewrite history, shall we? Remember it was YOU who started the stalking; posting pictures and websites of ____ on GC without permission.

But, you never were one to let the facts get in the way of a good story now, were you? So you started a whole smear campaign, and enlisted your little buddies to repeat your lies. And you're still doing it today.

Ah, but back to those days. You didn't like it, though, when ____ returned the favor and started looking you up on the internet too, did you? Sure it was OK when you were doing it to ______, but gawd forbid anyone did it back to you. After all, nobody ever dared to challenge "Queenie Tippie" before, and your nose is still out of joint over it. If it wasn't, then why do you keep bringing up ____?

So once again, to set the facts straight, Tippie started the stalking, was horrfied when someone did it back to her, and then ran around crying that somebody was stalking her.

Just keepin' you honest, and will continue to do so.

:eek: BAITY?

Does that mean i'm no longer in TEH CULT? Do I have to return the t-shirt? :(

I do agree with you though. I wasn't around GC in the early days, but when I first joined, GC wasn't so "uppity."

Seriously, what is the point in creating a whole new section just so people could create fictitious recruitment threads? You wanna read those type of ficitious stories, it's a called a book.....read one. If you want to write one....take it OFF GC and into a blog or to your own personal wordprocessor.


Oh dear god whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

Fixing posts is fun :)

Why? Because whenever the lies begin, ____ returns to set "teh" story straight. Simple solution? Stop telling "teh" lies.

:)

Some difference actually.

Allowing a rumor which turns out to be false about a house could lead to an investigation. It could also mean civil liability for John.

A rush thread with fake houses based upon the Care Bears or My Little Pony or whatever isn't going to hurt anyone.

So do you silently read GC awaiting your name or a _________ to be posted? Isn't that tiring?

You know she does. She wants to come back and tell us how mean we are, and try her best to use some kind of witty insult...but all she ends up proving is how utterly psychotic she truly is.

Here's an easy peasy solution.

Everyone who wants to write a fake rush story, go to Happy Pony Rainbow Land. I hear they're hurting for members.

And yes, DrPhil, she does.

This thread is evidence that Bitchassness is a real disease. And it's highly contagious.

And I now heart this thread.

For the record, I've always hated rush threads. No. That is a lie. I've hated rush threads where every other post is, "wow I hope its green m&m's!!" followed by "no choose snickers!" For cryin out loud people, I wanted to read the poster's story, not how much you're dying for chocolate! And the retro threads have gotten waaaay out of hand.

But now this thread- its got it all. Complete with people who have returned from the great banned beyond.

Glad I couldn't sleep tonight! I might have missed all the good ol' fashion fun.
