When you refer to GC rather than the news/newspaper on current events!!

Me too! One of my friends refers to it as the Matrix.

Me: *Random bit of info*
Her: Where did you find out about that, the Matrix?

When the collegiates you advise know that you are on here all the time!

hi i'm fire1977 and I have a greekchat problem.

When your post per day average is well over 5.56.

Guilty.

Bumping because there's a whole lotta people I miss on GreekChat.

when you try to use mobile devices to check greekchat


(using my ipod touch on wifi....)

once upon a time I used to hurry driving home from class so I could check greekchat.

" They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no, no, no"

Looking at my join date and post #s already, yes, I think I need to admit I have a problem... I just read this whole thread (another indicator of my problem) and have a similar story to the poster who said she came on just to ask one question, but then got hooked.

I had one question about a song a couple of sisters and I have always debated about and could never find, my friend's daughter (in another glo) told her about this site so I volunteered to look it up and ask the question. And what do you know, I got the answer (I think from OTW, in fact :)) none of us had ever been able to find in no time!

It was in September, must have been at peak rush season, because I remember reading terms I'd never heard before like "helicopter mom" and had no idea at the time what a "troll" or "sockpuppet" was or why on earth anyone would be one. And I distinctly remember the thread was started or was going on that ended up with everyone posting pictures of Barbies and Care Bears "composites" and on their "Bid Days" (started by cuteASAbug, I think?), and that's what hooked me. That was the funniest thing I'd ever read and I instantly liked ("virtually") many of the posters in that thread.

And, I guess it spiraled out of control from there, here I am already over 1,000 posts. I never really understood the stories about people getting "addicted to the internet." Noooooow I think I understand. :)

I don't post as much as I did when I was new on here, and that's because of school. I do keep it open while I'm studying though. lol :p

ETA: OTW, this is a great bump.

I still wish my job would NOT block GC. It's the "chat" part that does not make it past the filter. Even the customer access computers block it. I think I was only able to access it one day.

Hallo i'm 4est and i'm a prospective rushee... i have become a greekchat-aholic because i am on my christmas break and nothing to do... i thought i would use it to ask questions every once in a while that i had about upcoming rush. Then i saw the cat porn. I'm 4est and i'm a greekchat-aholic thank you.

Proxy servers don't work?

I'm able to access MySpace at work via proxy server. Not all graphics come out, but usually I just check it to read messages and comments.

My work blocks proxy servers too and if you find one that they didn't filter out, and you are caught using it to bypass Websense, you can be fired. Happened to a really nice guy in our department who was using it to get to MySpace.
