To elaborate a little on what PM_Mama00 said, you can certainly do a search, but I think a lot of the concern comes from the fact that he makes such ignorant, grammatically incorrect posts and advertises not only his school but his fraternity. That brings down Pike and UF. We all have a reputation to uphold as members of our GLO's, and he's not doing Pike any favors. I know in Kappa's New Member Promise, we all say "I will never do anything to injure the name of Kappa Kappa Gamma..." and although I'm not perfect, I do my best to uphold that. He takes Pike's ideals of gentlemanly behavior and respect for all and throws them out the window, like the fraternity means nothing to him. Personal attacks on people for the way they look (or don't, it's not like we can see each other here), posting which sororities on his campus are supposedly drug users... I know that if there were someone on here posting things like that and calling him/herself a Kappa, my moderator would never hear the end of it. I know people have been banned from here for making a slew of racist comments, I don't think his sexist comments are much different.

My personal feeling...someone called him a troll on another board, and I think s/he may be right. I know by reading that a lot of Pikes on this board are appalled by his behavior because like it or not, one does reflect on the whole. I wouldn't be surprised if this is someone with a problem with Pike who is out to ruin the fraternity's reputation, even though around here we know that each chapter is different.

I suppose now he's going to get on here and call me some snarky name or whatever...I say go ahead. It's like I've said before, I know who that REALLY reflects on.

Back to the original topic...the first GCer who was famous to me was KillarneyRose, because she sent me my first PM.

Here's another set of votes for Tom Earp and OTW.
