Is it the concept of using code names that you don't like or just that some peoples' code names are stupid?

Honestly, if you name names, unless you want to seriously get flamed, you do have to be pretty vague and polite even if that doesn't represent your experience. For example, when I went through, at one chapter, this girl talked to me about drinking, asked if I had a fake ID, was astonished when I told her I didn't drink, didn't know that James Dean was dead, didn't know her chapter's philanthropy, (I could go on). I could have said "I didn't click with the actives at [real name of chapter here] and there was some conversation that made me uncomfortable." I chose to give the details without defaming the chapter (because they don't deserve it after a bad first impression). It's your choice as to which version you'd like to share.
