For the record, I know that not ALL of the chapters dirty rush, I just know that it happens so frequently here that it doesn't raise any eyebrows. It made Amy extremely angry when she heard my story and she wanted to tell Panhellenic. I just feel extremely disappointed because I DIDN'T know anyone here going into rush, and if that counted against me, then that's pretty unfair.

But I'm definitely not knocking the Greek system, because I still want to be a part of it. I just feel that there are several houses I would have fit wonderfully in, and they didn't even care to get to know me so bottom line is it really sucks. I just wish that my experience had gone differently, and that hopefully I will get a COB.

Oh and also, COBs are only for girls who were released from recruitment I'm pretty sure. I think you have to have at least registered for Panhellenic for the chapters to be allowed to contact you.

I don't know how COB works on your campus, but while a lot of school do have interested PNM sign up for it, I think it would be rare for it to be limited to PNMs who participated in formal.

Good luck! I hope that it works out for you like you want it to.

I know there's a whole hierarchy on here, and I do take note of posters who have thousands of posts, but can't we play nice? You two have a join date to GC within a couple of months of each other... which was 3 years ago, I might add. I understand when people admonish a newbie with 4 posts and a join date of yesterday, but some posters have been on here for years and simply don't post as often as others.

Violet made the point a couple of times, and maybe it was a little overkill, but that's every poster's GC right, right?

I regret mentioning the post count. My point was that she shouldn't be directing another knowledgeable user in what that user posted, particularly in such a flippant way. Had she been more pleasant in making the same point, I'm sure it wouldn't have even made an impression.

Agreed. We all have to be even more clear about being polite/nice/respectful/etc. when writing a communication rather than saying it. Nature of the beast.
