"...I still don't think you get it..."
I get it perfectly.
"...if you have to wonder to yourself 'Should I ask this question, you probably shouldn't'...."
As it has became perfectly clear, the appropriateness of a question on Greek life is highly subjective and is largely a judgment call on the person(s) asked, regardless of if the person is a BGLO member or not. Otherwise, Greeksource registration should only be limited to GLO members only, if that is the case.
"...we get tired of the same old questions that you know we can't and won't answer..."
You should know by now you will always be asked by someone at some point, so you might as well get used to it.
Some tactful answers (for those who GOTTA put their $19.XX in)
"Long story"
"Can't answer that"
"Not at liberty to discuss it"
Sweet, simple, assertive, to the point. No long spiels about being the elite this and the priviledged that.
MandingoNUPE, the rest of your post I responded by saying "No $#!t, I know that already."
I think that for prospectives to have to walk on eggshells to inquire about Greek life is silly and ridiculous, especially if the inquirer knows nothing about Greek life at all.
All I am appealing to the BGLOs is to be tactful; biting someone's head off is unjustified and unnecessary.
