The Semi-Official "Carnation Twins" Rush Thread. Volume II: The Start
 
This is the semi-official version so we don't have to wade through 4 pages of "gee I hope they have a great time and good luck!" Before Rush even starts!

Anyway, keep us informed Carnation . . . lol.

Gee, I sure hope they have a good time! Best of luck, Carnation Twins!!! :p

Killarney--ROTFLMAO!!!! I mean really!

Seriously, I'm not sure what to do concerning the length of the thread now! Who would've thought?

Good luck!
 
I really want to wish your girls good luck from one pnm to two others. I hope they follow their hearts and have a blast at the same time!

Carnation and GC'ers,

I would say that the goal would be to let a thread get to 50 or so posts then start using another. That way there is a better break down.

Plus it serves as an easier and more understandable lesson for the Rush Forum because it will end up showing a lot of GC'ers the day to day schedule of Rush at a major Greek school a well as the thoughts and perceptions of TWO PNM's as they go through.

ITs even more educational because you Carnation are heavily interested (being mom) and have such a sophisticated knowledge of Formal Rush processes in general, so that commentary day to day will be invaluable.

The combination of all three things: Both girls going through at the same time with considerable knowledge, Caranation' interest and Carnation's expertise gives a unique opportunity opportunity to show the inner workings of a Formal Rush at a breathtaking level of detail that has not been shown in this forum before and may never be again.

I wrote the original opening post on this thread in a toungue in cheek manner because I thought what I was pointing out was kind of obvious fom context.

It is what occurred to me as I read Carnations first post in the
"official Carnation thread" along with feeling happy for her.:)

Anyway, that is why I suggested breaking it down a bit and maybe numbering it in volumes. A member will sit through 50 posts and read and process.

Many members, especially interested independants won't sit through 200 posts espcially when the vast majority are quite naturally supportive and complimentary. And its harder to retain all the information after reading through that many posts and going back and rereading is a pain.

So why let the opportunity go to waste? We can have the best of both worlds: we can have a killer informative Rush experience with commentary, as well as be there to support Carnation in her moment of need.

All we need to do is make several smaller threads and number them versus a monster thread. *shrug*

Am I totally off base here? Someone please throw me a friching bone?

Maybe there could be a thread where only carnation posts about her daughters the "official official" thread and a seperate thread for comments, questions, and support.

not official?!
 
No offense, James...and I know you were trying to be helpful, but..

I just can't see this thread as even "semi-official" when it was not started by Carnation. :confused:

It is very simple what to do. The GC answer to EVERYTING!
YOU DO A SEARCH.
1. Hit the search button
2. Type in Carnation under "Search by user name"
3. Scroll down a bit and look to te left and it will say list as thread or post. Click list by post. All of Carnations posts will ome up and you can click only what you have time to read. That's what I did the past cople of days and it helped a lot.

Can I just say that you all crack me up. :p

bruinaphi 08-13-2002 03:07 AM

I just wanted to say the same thing that the last three million people said b/c I think it sounds better coming from my mouth.

All kidding aside, I am waiting with all my fingers, toes and eyes crossed hoping the twins wind up as happy as can be.

Keep us posted. I know we are dying for scoop!
