If I were a DG I would be really offended by you still using my letters especially since some other people have already told you how rude it is so now you know and being new to this is no excuse. It would be easy to do the right thing and be nice and start over with a new name."

Had she just posted the name was confusing and politely suggested a change, that would have been one thing. Instead, she said that DGIllinois should be really offended, thereby trying to instigate something, said that I know how"rude" it is, and claimed that being new is "no excuse." And she had ZERO to add to my comment. So she was rude, and was your comment that you hope my daughter is nicer than I appear to be. Funny, I specifically wrote that if you did not want me to reply to let up, but you and old row just cant stop. If me posting with this name bothers you so, stop engaging me.

That's...one hell of a threat? In any case, I'm glad your daughter had a good day yesterday, and I hope today goes well for her too.

That's not fair to anyone and that's for me to say not someone else.
I am just fine and people responding to someone elses post has nothing to do with me. The most important thing to remember is that all these parents love their child and it oftens hurts more to see your child feel rejection than to be rejected yourself.
I once heard someone say having a child is like taking your heart and throwing it out in the middle of the street.
It is so much easier to be kind to someone and can make all the difference in how someone feels.

Thanks for your response. She has met a lot of awesome girls from Illinois, some rushing, some not so I have to say, the kids are nice. She is very cute, but very reserved which I'm sure does not help either. I think she will be fine either way, and maybe even better off if she doesn't end up in one....she truly hates girl drama.

There is nothing rude about that post. You deliberately continued to use a user name several others informed you was offensive in a another thread and I had to go back and read all of that because I thought you were someone else in this thread. People gave you an easy solution in that thread to create a new user account but you refused. So that makes you not only a bully but a perp because no one reads signatures.



I think most of us would prefer a rude bully like you to no longer post here at all.

Oh poor me...I can't make a new user name by reregistering and picking a name with no sorority name in it that won't offend anyone on GC. No that isn't completely possible and easy to do.:rolleyes:

Really? Direct me to where I refused to pick a new name. In fact, I tried to create a new username, but it would not allow me do do so, and said that only one account per email address. So I made a mistake and I:

1. Contacted the administrator to change the username
2. Wrote a signature to disclaim affiliation
3. Tried to change usernames but was not allowed to do so.
4. Posted that if DGIllinois wants me to stop posting and not update on the recruiting, I will stop posting as soon as the attacks stop.

So your accusation that I refused to change names is patently false. Not only did I not refuse, I actively tried. Moreover, I honestly admitted that I have nothing to do with delta gamma, and the only reason people are supposedly offended is because of my honesty.

If some people here are interested in what transpires with my daughter, I will post. if it offends DGIllinois to post with my current name, I won't. I have no option to change names until the administrator acts.

AngelMom checking in!!! Heard from my daughter around noon (we're down south so there is an hour time difference!)…She was soooo fortunate to have received 3 invites for today…and all are houses that I KNOW she'd be happy at! She indicated that parties were scheduled for 1)noon 2) 1:20pm 3) 2:40pm if that helps anyone. I don't get a play-by-play account from her, which is good in that this is totally her experience. I know she is tired, though, and happy that the process is almost over (in a good way!).
