Violets, this was beautifully said.
I think it is very important for GCers to be supportive with more than just a plug for our own house. Most of us have something in our board names or signature files...so unless something more substantial is posted, then why bother? Sure, it's nice to see a plug, but like everyone else, I felt it was irritating to scroll through 50 "go [GLO]" to get to the juicy bits! (and seeing as how there were so many PNMs rushing at my alma mater, I was VERY VERY interested..)
I also question the practice of collegiate members PMing a PNM who is rushing at their school. I know there is no way we can find out, but I think it is our duty here to make sure the PNMs know that they should not really be PMing back & forth with active sorority members from their school. There's no way to tell if "dirty rushing" is going on...but why take that risk?
And of course, collegiate sorority members should know better.
(hmm..perhaps I should've made this last idea a thread of its own?! Maybe it should be stated when rush rolls around again, since many of the GCers here now might not be around then.)
