QFP. You have quite a bit of info on GC about yourself to remain anonymous. My suggestion is to speak with your president since you are not a new member.

What?

Drop, you'd be doing the chapter a favor.

I am borrowing KSUViolet's pen for my answers.

Okay, I numbered your cons so that I can address them more easily.

1) Chapter FINES or DUES? If it's dues, then you can probably set up a payment plan with your treasurer. We could do that. But if you're being fined for something (non-attendance, grade issues, whatever), then that's your own fault.

2) Not everyone gets along with their advisor. I know a lot of people that thought their advisor was overbearing, making things "not fun", or just being "old" and whatnot. You can either choose to sit down with her and see what problems she has with you, or you can continue to think that she's against you for some random reason and be in the same position. Or talk to your President or someone else in leadership about it.

3) Do you have a standards board? If these girls are disrespecting what your sorority stands for, then there are ways to address this.

4) It sounds as if you're an all-or-nothing type of person. You can still be active and study at the same time. Participate in study hours in the house or in a cafeteria or somewhere else. There are hundreds of thousands of girls and guys that strike a balance every single year. Exercise good time management, because believe me, you will need that skill even more when you're out of college.

5) Please explain what you mean about taking time away from other activities.... Why do you suffer during recruitment? Apathy from other sisters, like you're projecting?

6) So what? I had a lot of friends outside of the greek system. There is nothing that says you can't be friends with non-greeks.

7) I find this kind of hard to believe. But in your previous points, it seems like you think that people have it out for you.

8) What's done is done, and that's all in the past. You can either think about what could've been and be miserable, or you can make it what you want. There are plenty of people that don't get into their first or second choices, but they make the best of it and a lot of the times make the sorority better by the time they left than when they joined.

But it seemed like you just joined because you only wanted letters across your chest. If you don't want to make an effort to change what you don't like about it, then quit, because otherwise you will be miserable and you will be bringing your sisters down with you.

Haha 33girl- jinx. :)

Mine is prettier than yours. :D

Substance over style.

I kid, I kid!!! ;)

I'm just curious how you can have one of the highest GPAs in the chapter and then say a few lines later your GPA is almost always suffering due to sorority life.

Are you on scholarship? Do you have to keep a 3.7 or something to keep your scholarship?

Did I read correctly? You have one of the highest GPAs in your sorority, but your grade are always close to suffering?

ThetaPrincess noticed the same thing.

I don't know why that didn't register with me when I read through her post. I'll blame it on it being Monday. Yeah, that's confusing.

Well, if everyone else has 2.7s and you have a 3.0 and you're used to having a 4.0, it might bug you a little.

I agree.

It also sucks when Greekchat is their big moment of realization. "Oh these usernames are right, I should try attending events more, I should stay!!"

That, or they want us to beg them not to quit.

They want us (GC) to say this to them -> "Please don't quit your chapter. The entire greek system at your school will completely fall apart if you leave!!! How can you leave. WE NEED YOU!!!!!"

:rolleyes: yeah, right.....

As long as I had a 2.0 I could be active, so I figured why knock myself out? :D

LOL. Some GCers have seemingly begged people not to quit before.

Okay, so this is when I ask what distinguishes one poster who creates a thread about dropping from another poster who creates a thread about dropping.

NPHC droppers tend to be told to go to hell regardless of their story.

But, for NPC it seems as though some people are met with compassion and empathy and others aren't. The latter is more amusing but I'm just curious. :D

@ the bold: YUP!!!!!!!

That's why GC is so quiet lately. If only we were more receptive to NPHC aspirants and members who wanted to share. :(

For me, there are new members thinking about dropping (compassion), newly actives thinking about dropping (cautious compassion), then this jerk.

I can understand new members and newly-actives because the experience is pretty heady.

This jerk called her sisters "not women" and has been active for a while. She also tried to shame a group of us for scratching our heads at the way the media has covered the Natalee Holloway debacle, telling us we're not good greeks. Also, this is not the first time implying that her chapter has bid less-than-desireables.

Therefore, I choose not to show any compassion.

LOL. Oh yeah, that's the idiot from the strangely amusing Holloway thread.

I understand.

OP is starting to Speed-Delete. Unfortunately for her, most of her posts were QFP'd.

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself 'I'm such a lucky guy'
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellas in the world she belongs to me

But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

I'm not trying to delete my post, I was going to edit it for more details. It sounded rude, and I realize that, I'm sorry. I probably won't bother editing it anymore since I can tell people are upset and it's not gonna matter how I rephrase it. For the 'not women' comment, I dont LITERALLY mean that, I would describe what I mean but no matter how I do it I think it's gonna be attacked which I deserve because it was phrased rudely.

Bullshit.

DrPhil, you must stop channeling/stay out of my iPod! It's really heavy on the Motown right now;every spring I seem to go right to the Temptations/Four Tops/Smokey Robinson/Impressions/Marvin Gaye/Sam Cooke tunes. Takes me to a happy place, instantly. Right now, here's what's on:

I ain't got time to think about money
Or what it can buy
And I ain't got time to sit down and wonder
What makes a birdie fly

And I don't have the time to think about
What makes a flower grow
And I've never given a second thought
To where the rivers flow

OK back to the topic...

You and I are vibing. Meet me in the "what do you feel like saying now" thread. It's Motown day. :)

We get that you weren't being literal about the women in your chapter not being women, but probably would have thought better about you and this comment if you DID come from a chapter of cross-dressers. At least they usually show more class than you have.

Who else went straight for this thread after reading AlphaFrog's post in the "Is GC a Thing of the Past" thread? ::raises hand::

::sheepishly raising hand::

....Ignoring the spammer....


I know I see certain posters talk about a thread or see that certain posters are the last post in a thread (especially on a subject they wouldn't normally comment on) and run straight for them.


MysticCat being the last poster on a thread in the Sorority Recruitment forum, for example.

This sounds like an excellent new GC game. Posts/Forum appearances you wouldn't expect from specific GCers.

Not to keep picking on MysticCat, but, for example:
Posted by MysticCat: "Bumping for later! :D:cool:;)" in the DRUNK! thread.

YES! DO IT!


I would, but starting threads is a pain on the phone.

^^ Okie-doke. Done.

Drop out. You are a drain on your sorority because you clearly don't like your chapter, and I will guarantee you that you will feel much better after you quit. As far as not being able to take advantage of networking, I call BS. You were a part of the greek system, and you can use that to your advantage for the rest of your life as it suits you. "I was an ABC!" "I was an XYZ!" It won't get you hired, but it makes for conversation.

So quit--- you are worried because you won't belong to an alumnae association or have a daughter who is a legacy when you graduate from college? Newsflash: very few alumnae are involved with their alumnae associations. I'm sure the GC police will step in and tell me they are VERY involved alumnae-- well good for them, but they are the minority.

If you regret it later on life, contact the headquarters to inquire into reinstatement procedures for membership.

Collegians, if you are coming on GC asking us "Should I quit?", the answer is invariably YES.

*Just trying to picture what the GC Police badge & uniform would look like.*

The badge would almost certainly have an alternating Opal/Diamond option. Now...white or yellow gold?

I'll be honest... I usually run straight for ANY thread that 33girl is the last to post on. I'm hoping it's a trainwreck and that she'll have posted a ridiculously blunt/sarcastic/entertaining comment. :D
