This was my problem with violetalum's post. rolltidesoon didn't ask a question about NPC policy, she asked what the groups are like in reputation. If she would have asked "do you need recs" and OTW would have said no because at her school you don't, that would have been valid reason to call her on it. But that wasn't the question, the question was about opinions.
Also, I don't think OTW's comment to daisyflower was unwarranted - df answered with a bit of an attitude ("I will give you the insight nobody seems willing to provide.") That almost sounds like an accusation that we want to withhold info. We don't - we just want rushees to go in with as clean a slate as possible and without inaccurate information.
Plus - prospectiverushee (post here more girl, I miss you!) directed rolltidesoon to the very lengthy UA rush thread in the rush forum. It covered everything a rushee needed to know. That should have been the end of the whole bloody thing.
Oh, while I'm here, I'll say it one more time: I think all these "what do you think of" and "what is XYZ like" threads should be banned/closed. They do nothing to contribute to discussion of Greek life and do even less to put a positive spin on it.
