I understand very well the stress sorority recruitment entails and apologize if anyone has misunderstood the messages I’ve posted here thus far.

I do, however, beg to differ with Kappamd regarding a different take on what a “reputation” represents. Reputations, while not always entirely deserved, may well be all you have to work with before you’ve had a chance to validate or disprove what you can’t help hearing. I consider my previous post regarding Bully Barbie a public service to the community that is frequenting this thread. Posters who regularly manipulate threads through taunting and insults are trolls, and a troll by any other name is a bully. Bullies have serious problems and they can rear up their heads any time you don’t check them on their behavior.

I’ve been reading GreekChat since I registered as a member of this forum in 2007, but have only recently started posting. Unlike well-meaning comments I have offered in this thread, I've seen Bully Barbie post malicious statements on other threads and see that Bully Barbie has a real potential of setting off emotional upset. I caution readers of this thread, and Bully Barbie’s posts in particular: Don’t be naïve.

Now, returning to the true focus of this thread, Elon PNM’s… how’s it going?
I don't care what your opinions about "reputations" are. We don't post them on GC. You should know that if you've been around since 2007.

Furthermore, I find it incredibly ironic that you are accusing BR of bullying. You don't consider calling out a poster, twisting her posts out of context, and repeatedly calling her names bullying?
