It's funny, I just read these posts about the NYC Panhel list. I am one of the people that had issues with the "drama" in the list. I also have a Networking Group for Social Work. Apparently, posting about my group once a month (along with others postings looking for apartments and eyebrow waxers) was a bit too much for several ladies (who didn't identify themselves of course) to take. I got about 7 emails off-list "slamming" me for my posts. I just don't get the rudeness that goes on through email and the reason for it it all. I was under the assumption that an email listserv like that WAS for networking purposes, with the common bond of "greekhood". Because of the actions of these "ladies" I have a feeling that doesn't sit well about this group, which is sad, because I am sure overall, it is a great group of women. I think personally listservs are a wonderful means of communication, especially in terms of networking, apartment hunting, etc. They are a great way to help others out. And my motto always is regarding emails "if it doesn't apply let it fly" and just delete. Our personal listserv for MetroDPhiE is very very active with multiple emails per day. Many women have signed up for daily digest or reading messages on the site only because of this reason. Oh well, what are we going to do. People will always be catty I guess. I would like to eventually give this group another chance because I would like to meet other women in the NYC area with similar interests. Allison
