[BThey should understand that what they consider to be "harmless fun" is not harmless to the people they're lampooning. For example, there is a new GC user with the exact same screenname as the fiance of one of my GreekChat-to-Real-Life friends. That's a pretty blatant lampoon and I know it bothers her. As for the inside jokes, there's nothing wrong with that, but people should remember that they sometimes make people on the outside feel uncomfortable. It's kind of like when two people are speaking another language in front of a third person who doesn't understand what they're saying and the other two know it. It's rude to purposely alienate others. I just don't think this is the place for large scale inside jokes.

Sure, this is the Internet. But the fact that friendships, confidences and, yes, cliques have grown from this board shows that just because our contact with each other started out on a computer screen, we're all still "real people" behind our screen names. Each and every one of us have "real lives" outside of GreekChat, but that doesn't mean that it isn't possible for people's feelings to be hurt by things on here.

I duno what the hell lampooning actually means, and I can only assume that the pink thing could possibly be towards me (in which if it is, I don't give a fuck). While I think some of the stuff is funny, and I have been in the know of some inside jokes before on here, I think it turns people away from GC, which is quite unfortunate. I would just hope that girls from my school wouldn't see this website and be turned away from Greek life because she thinks our system is like this. Oh well, to each their own and I ain't here to ruin anyone's fun.

We all like to have fun in our own little ways.
