I initially thought the idea was cute but never in a million years thought that people would actually take it seriously and try to start something. I just don't see the point...we've got GreekChat and that should be good enough. So my vote goes to #4. Oh...and blast me if you will...it doesn't bother me one way or the other.

Re: Gamma Chi - yes or no?
 

Why are you letting the non-GX members determine you guys fate? Do what you all want to do.

How sad
 

it's a pity we can't work together to enjoy each others company.
for sure, this idea needs a separate thread.
it's also a pity that everyone seems so uptight about things.
mmcat
:p :cool: :D

I vote #4, to forget the idea. My thinking is that GC (Greek Chat) is a forum where Greeks can exchange ideas, etc. I love seeing other ChiOs on the boards.

If posters use Gamma Chi letters I think it does add some level of elitism to Greek Chat whether you mean to or not. We already have levels of GC posters (i.e., Sr. member). Do we need more?

A person I know once got called to task by many GCers because she only had a few posts and some felt she had "no right" to get upset about a situation that was occuring. In fact, more attention was paid to how many posts she had than the merits of what she said. Isn't this an example of de facto elitism?

My concern is that a Gamma Chi group would not serve as a positive influence for Greek Chat. I see no problem if a group of Greek Chatters want to go some place (i.e., Yahoo or MSN) and do a Gamma Chi thing of their own.

#4 . . . no debate required

Good lord! hahaha
 

Thank you, I totally agree! I think it's petty and immature to judge someone by how many times they typed something rather than WHAT they're saying. Come on now, how many people here have at least 20 posts that say: "haha, that's right!", or "good post!" Where as someone new has something really interesting to say in their first one? You can't make generalizations in either case, there are good posts and stupid posts made by those with a large quantity, and the same goes for those with less! And you know what, as I've learned from experience, often the newcomer is the one who can see a situation most clearly, because they are able to view it without bias(conscious or unconscious)!!! So stick that in your...whatever, and smoke it! hahaha
And I say #4...for those who say I'm unqualified to have an opinion, well, you're allowed because, well, this is a forum for your opinions as well, and meanwhile I will just disregard it and continue to exercise MY right to post my own opinions. :D

YOu know, what started out as a really great idea, went sour.

#4:(
#5 Scrap the idea and start all over:)

Quatre. (That's 4.)

Just a great idea gone awry but still viable for an avenue for GCers to get to know each other if in the same local area.

I know there are some in the KC area that I would love to meet!

But there are many I would love to meet period! Would love to meet OTW on a white sand beach drinking fru fru drinks with an umbrella in it looking out over the Blue waters touching the blue sky!:)

List is much to long to list all of you so will just say, ALL OF YOU!:cool:

I too have been involved since the beginning, and did think it was a good idea. I haven't really spoken up since all the contraversy started. I haven't had the time or the energy to put into this that I thought I would, and in the past couple of days I have seen things just go downhill as far as GX is concerned. My vote is #4.

just one question: What does FGC mean? I have seen it on a couple of signatures and am curious.

I say 3 or 4

Having problems
 

Hey Gamma Chi's, Can any of you help me? The link to the msn community no longer exists in my communities list and I need to participate in the ceremony thing tonight because I'm helping a friend move Saturday so if one of you could help me I'd greatly appreciate it.

EGF,

SigKapAlum,

Phi Gamma Chi -- It took me a second to understand it, but I'm pretty sure I know what those posters are trying to say. Gamma Chi stands for Greek Chat, and Phi stands for something else I believe..... a certain word starting with 'F'. Got it yet? They don't like it, so they are saying Phi Gamma Chi. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I thought it was.

HeavenslilAngel - The new member ceremony is on hold, unless and until a decision is made to go forward with Gamma Chi.

BrianMUDU - yep, that's how I read it too. A little extreme IMO, but there it is.
