Clearly going back to school and work this week was a mistake. What did I tell you guys about this during work hours?

I forget you're a mod KSUV. you need to work less, and delete threads more.

<TANGENT>She really isn't, and that's not just because we're sisters and seem to have a very similar sense of humor!</TANGENT>

Other than that, I love Recruitment Stories but hope the story tellers are not sharing too many personal details in the process. I wonder how many people out there don't realize there are plenty of lurkers on GC and yeah, you can be ID'd from a seemingly innocent post.

If that's how she wants to run her family, she has every right to do so. Certain people just wish she didn't try to pretend otherwise.

I don't think we can actually know this, and I think it's petty to make these kind of claims.

Carnation picked four names for a thread; we have no way of knowing if a real GLO corresponds to each or not in Carnation's mind at this point. Pretending that you understand her intentions better than she does is kind of nutty.

And about not wanting her daughter to join a certain group, if I remember the story correctly, the real life basis for this was a daughter who de-pledged and re-rushed rather than continue her bid with a chapter that ended up folding while the daughter was in school. The daughter got a bid the next year to a chapter that's still going strong.

I suppose that everyone is free to judge and say that the daughter should have stuck in out with the chapter. However not wanting your kid to join a specific chapter that's already having membership issues and thinking that entire GLO are below her family's worth are hardly the same thing.

Actually, said daughter withdrew from recruitment, thus did not receive a bid the first time. She rushed again the next year and accepted a bid.

A chapter at her school did close. I imagine that we can all understand the disappointment those members must have felt, because all of our sororities have had chapters close. One new member was not going to salvage it.

Exactly.

We've all have times when we wish a whole bunch of girls would pledge a struggling chapter to turn the group around, but I don't think any PNM or her mother deserve a whole lot of blame for not trying to single-handedly save a chapter that she's not even a member of yet.

It's my hope that all the RFM stuff will make this largely a thing of the past anyway.

ETA: about the broader issue in this thread. I think all of this stuff is pretty small potatoes so far, but if GreekChat really loses Senusret I over this, there's going to be hell to pay. (I'm just going by his signature.)

That's all your bitch ass had to say. It's shit like this that causes folks not to post like KR mention folks should post.

You're welcome. Keep the shit up, and I'll continue with the "gentlemanly commentary".

Enough. I wanted to give people a place to air their grievances, but this thread has deteriorated to the point where it's just a bunch of snipping back and forth and insulting one another.

If someone wants to start another thread about their desire for a change in the moderation on this board, feel free to do so. Keep it on topic, though, or it will be closed.

Thanks
