I GOT MY LETTER!!!!!!!!!!!
 

I GOT MY LETTER, I HAVE AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry everyone, I know I can't tell anyone but I had to let it out and felt this was a great way without anyone knowing who I am. I'M SO EXCITED AND I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT....

Discretion is the key! You don't share that information with people. I guess you know that, that's why you're unregistered. But remember, the internet is not as anonymous as you think.

Aw, c'mon yall, lighten up on Totally Excited.

Granted, what she posted may not have been the smartest thing to do, but if folx havta play Dragnet in deciphering the identity of TE, despite her posting unregistered, not to say any of yall on here would do such a thing, frankly needs to get a [better] day job.

Congrats, TE, and good luck in your quest.

As ya'll know I am not greek but will rush this spring, so please let me know if this question is none of my business. But what does totally excited mean?

You so stupid. Weren't you excited when you found out that Kappa Alpha Psi wanted you. AND didn't you tell somebody...(mother, father, best friend, girlfriend, or in your case boyfriend), so why are you messing with him/her about posting on the internet. First of all he/she didn't list a frat/sorority, school, city/state, bglo/glo, etc. STOP trying to put people down. If you have words of wisdom, share it, otherwise shut the *UCK UP!!!!!

Kappa Hater, please keep your foul comments to yourself.

Hi, Q-T:

Unfortunately, I don't think we can say anything. Just erring on the side of precaution. Maybe a BGLO member will e-mail you.

Not that it matters, but I would wager TE is a woman. I think I'll go unregistered and cuz someone out, too, because that's so BOLD. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

He/she probably means that they received a letter indicating that the GLO is interested in meeting him/her and to learn more about them. I don't believe that it means a formal invitation to join the GLO yet.

I have enough sense not to go to blows with someone who's coward enough to be an unregistered member. And who lacks the intelligence to discuss things in a civilized manner. We can all agree to disagree, but your name says it all. You a hater!

Kappa Men are men of honor and integrity, and that is exactly how my frat brother answered you "KappaHater!!!!". Also know that when you attack N4L, you are attacking over 100,000 other men. But you wouldn't understand that now would you.

KAPPA-HATER, I will not boo you this time, I will try to school you. I give you props for having the "balls" to say you are a hater but, I think you hate is the result of your lack of knowledge about KAPPA ALPHA PSI Fraternity Inc. As they say, it is easier to hate, avoid and understimate what we don't know than to try to understanding it. I do not think NUPE FOR LIFE was putting him/her down for posting her happiness on the net, he was rather advising her to be careful about who she/he shares this with.

COME ON!!!!!! Can we all at least respect eachother. I SAY RESPECT, not like.
I am out. ONE

I have to agree with Nupe4Life. If you have posted previously under a registered name sometimes people can still tell who you are by your choice of words, use of the English language, and what words you accentuate in CAPS!! Please continue to use discretion and I wish you well.

MandingoNupe, Nupe4life from what I have seen in your posts you are obviously intelligent individuals;so why are you encouraging negativity on this thread. Y'all know better...lol. Obviously Kappa hater has some issues. Just let it be. When people like that make comments so negative or inappropriate it is always best to ignore and not respond. You be surprised how quickly they disappear as quickly as they came http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif. Much love guys!!!!

I think that it must mean something for this person to have gotten a letter and interview, or people wouldn't be so worried about the lack of discretion. I know we have our differences, but I think I'd rather this person be anonymous on the board saying this than out telling people. I don't think its a fair assumption that he/she has already done so. Besides, I'd have to agree that anyone who tries to track this person down through previous posts, use of punctuation, use of language, etc. really has way too much time on their hands.

Congratulations, Totally Excited - but I guess you should learn that until you are an initiated member, some people don't want you posting. I wish you luck!

Okay Director,

Just cuz your the moderator, doesn't make you the thought police. The person probably didn't tell anyone else, hence the reason they sought out this board to anonymously let the world know. I realize that letters should be sacred, but your words were way too harsh.

Much Love,

http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif cute, very cute. you KNEW you couldn't tell ANYONE, but you posted on here anyway?? what next? "i know i can't tell anyone, but this is our password...." or "i know I can't tell anyone, but this is how our grip goes...."

YOU NEED TO CHILL!!! I'VE SAID ENOUGH IN THE DELTA FORUM ABOUT DISCRETION. I PRAY THAT YOU AND ANYONE ELSE WHO IS GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN A SORORITY OR FRATERNITY WILL PRACTICE DISCRETION.

AND REMEMBER JUST BECAUSE YOU GOT A LETTER AND AN INTERVIEW MEANS NOTHING. YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF FOR "LETTING IT OUT"!
You've probably told others also, and I'm sure you were given specific instructions on how to conduct yourselve throughout this process.

Forgive me, all, for coming down so hard, I just have a problem when people don't practice discretion or follow rules.

Totally Excited,
I understand you are thrilled to the gills about what has happened to you. That's great and I wish you the best of luck. However, I am not gonna come down on you about the whole discretion thing. It is something that you should realize and know at this point. Therefore, in the future, just realize that from this point forward, you need to know that actions such as this, could cost ya. Granted, you didn't tell us where you go to school, what org it is that you received a letter from, etc. But just the whole thought of you sharing this info is questionable in terms of: are you gonna share more info to others (on this board or otherwise)? It's like, you told us this much, so are you gonna keep on telling? Especially if you were told that discretion is key from whatever point and on.
I think I can speak for most Greeks when I say that we don't take giving our traditions and letters away lightly. It is a BIG DEAL to us. Our orgs mean the world to us. We all understand the importance of keeping secrets a secret or keeping our rituals OUR rituals.

So here's this scenario Totally Excited and hopefully this will help:
Say you were Greek and you extended someone the opportunity to be in your org. And you told this person that it was very important for them to remain discreet about the info they receive from this point forward. But guess what? They didn't! How would you feel? Wouldn't you feel let down? Wouldn't you feel slightly betrayed? It's like you saw something in this person that would make them a good member and that most of all, you could trust them. You could trust this person w/ the traditions, rituals, etc that you hold dear to your heart. But they didn't listen and they went and shared something they weren't supposed to.
So think (before you speak) about that scenario the next time you feel the need to spread your joy. Like I said, we aren't trying to be mean about what you did, it's just that by this, you just went and literally betrayed someone and their org by sharing something that you knew you weren't supposed to. If by chance they found out, how are they supposed to continue to trust you? How are they supposed to share the true beauty of their org with you now? Think about it.

12dn94DST:

I like the way you broke it down- I agree, and also thank you for not doing so in a disrespectful manner. We are all assuming She/He new about keeping certain things to oneself but... maybe he/she did not know. I am prety sure we all made it clear by now.
...And if this person in brought in the "right way" by he time the process is over, she/he, I hope, will protect and care for the org.'s history and secrets as if it was her/his life.
Enough Said.
