It's very rare to have people on Greek Chat say something nasty about another GLO on various campuses so, it was really weird to go onto this website (which struck my curiosity when the girl brought it up) and see some of the nasty things people were saying about other GLOs.
Then, when I read what people were saying about each other-I was stunned. So, I wanted to know how people view sites like that (since we are all very Greek united on this site) and what effect everyone thinks this site may have on Greek life...I can't really imagine going on a website (annonymous or not) and putting down other GLOs...I'm so used to such a positive site where people commend other GLOs for their founder's days, philanthropy events and new members that when I saw this site-I didn't know what to think.
Am I the only one in the dark who didn't know this site existed until the other day? Sometimes I think I'm VERY in-the-dark because certain sites everyone seems to have known about-I had no clue existed...such as finding out about Wikipedia until the last semester of my senior year of college....and even Myspace was new to me then, as well...

A whole lot of schools are not included on that site. So, many of us have no use for that site other than to be a voyeur. And I found that site not interesting enough to be a lurker.
Now that you know the site exists, what are you going to do with it? Go on there to read the latest person being dragged through the mud? Come here to announce that there's a site to go to to see someone dragged through the mud? There's a reason some colleges do not want to be associated with that site and want it closed.
It isn't the first site that has been an uncensored place where college students (and noncollege students) have gone to put people's lives on blast. Those types of sites make other sites, that are known for being rude and cut throat, look like playgrounds.
