If you're a new poster, please familiarize yourself with "how things are done" on GC by reading lots of old threads before running your mouth. It's very frustrating to see a poster with less than 20 posts jump in the fray on controversial topics and start a trainwreck on what was otherwise a civil (if heated) discussion.

Examples: "OMG I'm so sorry you got crosscut from recruitment, you know, you should look into alumnae initiation, my sorority does AI and it's something you should consider if you still want to join a sorority!"

"Well I'm a member of an NPC org and I know you like Delta Sigma Theta, but don't worry! If you're nice and sweet I'm sure you'll totally get a bid to DST when you go through rush! Let me give you lots examples based on how NPC orgs conduct recruitment and use that to advise you on how to join an NPHC org! By the way -- keep an open mind to ALL houses, even if DST isn't the right one for you, another org will probably be a better fit for you. Can't wait to hear your rush story!"

"What do y'all think of Pledged?"

If you're a new poster on GC and all of a sudden everyone's jumping down your neck about something, chances are YOU ARE IN THE WRONG. You'll only exacerbate the situation by getting defensive and cussing everyone out for being "mean."

I have learned so much more about GLOs via GC than I ever would have had I not created a GC account. I still have so much more to learn, but I realize just how little actually knew about Greek Life before October 2005. EDUCATE YOURSELF on all aspects of Greek Life by reading past threads, Mr. or Ms. Newposter, and you won't look like an ass and get flamed like hell for your first few posts.
