It is your perception that people are argumentative.

It could be possible that yes, you are too sensitive for discussing Greek life rationally.

For example, it is not rational to expect -- feel entitled, if you will -- to a personal, private message if someone disagrees with you.

We have no loyalty or allegiance to you, and from what I can gather, you don't have any real life friends who are members of GC.

Whatever the case may be, you should be mature enough to do a few things:

1) Ask thoughtful questions -- realizing your ignorance of a topic without judging it.

2) Have a debate without crying "attacked" every time.

Just trying to help you see the other side of the coin.

All I'm saying is that there's no need for an attitude if I ask a simple question. People ask questions when they want to know something and I was relying on other GCers to help me understand something. It really is just that simple. Unfortunately there are several GCers who feel some sort of elistism because they know more than us newbies and have to make us feel stupid everytime we ask a simple question. There's just no need for that sort of treatment. I didn't think I was doing anything wrong by asking questions on GC rather than looking through pages on Google... And I didn't say I expected a PM if someone disagrees with me - I said if I was blatantly wrong about something, tell me what the right answer is. And I asked, I would never expect anything from a GCer unless they were also a Zeta :rolleyes: I have learned that much by now... You obviously don't see this side of the coin at all.

But if you get an attitude.... so what?

Simple questions are often the most annoying ones. :)

I'm not saying I don't get an attitude, just that it's unnecessary. And too bad if my simple questions annoy you - there were a couple people kind enough to answer them anyway :D

Well good for you.

I am glad we have come to this understanding.

You annoy me ;) :)

You forgot to mention a minimum GPA. :D

Delta also requires that you have a minimum number of credits that usually translates into sophomore status.

He annoys me, too. Sad to say his mother is my "sister," which makes him my "nephew."

lol, i did forget that.... but you know folks need baby steps around here. :p

LMAO..... but what a lovely Auntie you are! :D

Now this is worth a shot of chai latte. :)

The Final Club by Geoffrey Wolff is another good book to read if you're interested in Princeton social history. (Despite the title, it's about Princeton, not Harvard.)

I know it's an "old" thread in terms of GC-time, but I went to a school with eating clubs-- the Princeton of the South--Davidson. The three eating houses served as "sororities" to the women who chose to participate. While I don't take offense to SthrnZeta's term "weird" personally, I do know of some members of the eating houses who would. I understand that what you don't know can be unfamiliar, but it doesn't make it "weird." As a student, I can tell you that it served the noble purpose of bringing women together for good times and good fellowship in what could be an extremely stressful atmosphere at times.

I just went and checked that out. Neat :) . Has there ever been any movement on campus toward wanting to have NPC sororities?

Not to my knowledge. Fraternities have had a shaded past on Davidson's campus. When my dad went there (he was initiated in Sigma Phi Epsilon), I know that there was a movement from the administration to move to a more inclusive policy for the fraternities (at that point in time, Davidson was all-male). As a result, I know that some of the fraternities moved off campus. When dad was a senior, women started being admitted as regular, full-time students. I think the eating houses were started because women wanted a "sorority" experience, but knew the fight for an NPC would be an uphill battle. You can read this to see the current sentiment (well, the letter was published during my sophomore year).
