No one would have objected to you stating that things are different now. Anyone with half a brain cell functioning would know that of course things are different 20 years later. However, that is not what you typed. You referred to problems that "started/continued/worsened" in the 80s and 90s. That is a direct slam, and you still have not explained what it means.

To True!

Amazing when it comes to The History over the Years, Old is now the 80/90s!:(

Try the Pre 60s when Hazing was an acceptable thing!:eek:

Greek Organizations have restructured, (For The Most Part) over the Years.

Tomarrow will be different from Yesterday.:)

That is life isnt it!;) But of course some of the Tadays wont beleive that will they?:D

My lack of current knowledge
 

Despite having graduated in the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth I am relatively current w/ what has happened as I have been an advisor for several chapters since graduation and have participated actively in the sorority alum. assoc. especially when CMU didn't have one in the area. Before you jump on me for this comment, I have to add that we relocate often due to my husband's company.

I am well aware that CMU is not the be all and end all of all university education. Nor is my sorority perfect. Based on the experiences by my 2 bio/sorority legacy sisters talk about their chapters at their schools and what the three of us have seen as advisors, I do feel comfortable in saying that I do know what has been occurring in the recent years.

me gets the impression that it is not necessarily just what you said that has riled some people, but that you felt the need to create a name to say it in the first place.

not often do individuals show up on this board and start responding directly to a single current thread that just *happens* to directly apply to them.

Actually I am new to GC in general and when the page opened up the words ""CMU expansion" were on a thread so I investigated. I created a name to respond to the post since I had a comment but if you look at my profile, you will see that I have replied to a couple of other threads as well.

I was wondering about that, too, because it didn't make any sense to me, either.

And yeah, things are waaaaay different now than they were in the '80s...just ask my mom, who was overjoyed to find that she wouldn't have to sew a heinous white poufy satin dress from scratch for me to wear to Initiation, like she did for my oldest sister. :p

**crickets chirping**

I am sorry to hear that....the one good thing about the 80s no longer being here...POUFY...has gone the way of the dinosaur...lets all pray that it NEVER comes back in style.

when they brought back the three layered mini-skirt I was so scared that the bubble skirt was next.

Hey now! I LOVED the bubble skirt that my mom made me for a semi-formal. It was red and green plaid silk taffeta and I wore it with a black sequined tube top. You couldn't tell me anything. I knew I was fly.

OH... I've seen them... there was a girl wearing a dress with a bubble bottom at Presents last semester... I was like :eek: :eek: I never even liked those when I was 12 !!

I loved my fuscia taffeta bubble skirted prom dress and white taffeta bubble skirt dress that I wore to like 8 million Bar Mitzvahs in junior high. That doesn't mean I ever want to see one again though

Well, that's true because then you would have to bring back the hair. You needed the "Hair Bear" look to balance everything.

Is this the same as "the claw?"

I saw this phrase on the GC homepage and was just praying that it was a sarcastic remark....Thank god.
