How cool is this!

This post made me go look up my statistics and look at a few threads I contributed to. I joined in 2007, and based on a post I wrote about AGDLynn when she was gravely ill, entered hospice, and then when she passed away, I joined because AGDLynn told me about the site. I still think of her often. She would have loved convention this past summer in Atlanta.

There are a few folks I know on here IRL - AGDee and I became good friends largely because of this site, and have traveled together as well as stayed at each other's houses. Carnation invited me to a Recruitment Moms group on facebook, and that has also been fun.

I've used the site for entertainment, and also for knowledge. Rush stories have always been fun to try to decode, particularly when I know a lot about the campus. My favorite threads, though, have been LaneSig's work on Extension, especially during the boom that happened in the 2010s. And there have been many times in a volunteer capacity I've needed some background information about specific campuses so I've utilized the NPC Recruitment threads to see which chapters are on a campus, their chapter names, and when they were installed/left campuses. That source has been more helpful/effective than any other I've tried.

I don't post often, but I check the site somewhat regularly - admittedly, more often during recruitment season (i.e. now!). Very thankful for this forum!
