You know what, mean or not, "Abby" knows her. We don't. There are two sides to every story, and posting your dirty laundry on a greek message board isn't exactly productive. That is business to be handled off-line, in the real world, like ladies. And if "Abby" couldn't be a lady about it, then rhosigmazeta had the responsibility to be lady enough for the both of them. That, to me, is what being Greek is all about, taking the high ground no matter what.
I for one do have a concern when a new organization has to come to the internet for support and morale. Most of our organizations certainly didn't have that luxury. There are public libraries with Baird's Manual...in fact, my school had two. If you want to learn about expansion, history, all that...it's there.
Heck, I bet the best selling Greek book out there is probably In Search of Sisterhood: Delta Sigma Theta and the Challenge of the Black Sorority Movement. I'm not saying to run out and copy DST...I am saying that if you want to learn about some women who had what it took to start something new, read that. I'm a man, and I enjoyed the book, too.
And just so you all will know that I'm not coming out of left-field with this, yes, I have PMed the original poster with my concerns.
It doesn't bother me that prospective rushees come to GC seeking information or guidance. But it does bother me that the founders of an organization don't seem to have the independence to go about this on their own until at least the organization has been properly founded.
