There are always going to be cliques. GC is a huge community and people want to make that smaller. We all work towards that -- bonding with our sisters and brothers in the individual forums, making posts on "Greeks from ______," making friends with people who have similar interests or viewpoints as we do. The H&A -- which started out as a silly nickname poking fun at ourselves -- is pretty much just based on the above factors. You've got me and Kath and Blaine who became friendly because we're all from Wisconsin. Kiki and Jules became buddy-buddy because of geography too. Lil' Hannah was added to the mix mostly because we thought she had good taste in music. Later there were people who we bonded with because of similar political opinions -- we were always banding together in the politics forum. Later we added people to our mix because they tend to have the same views on Greek life as we did. I think it's pretty obvious that we're not some kind of exclusive club when the H&A have grown from the original four girls to more people than I can even keep track of. If you're friendly to us, we're more likely than not going to be just as nice back.
Cliques on GC aren't a new thing -- when I got here there were cliques and inside jokes, I definitely noticed them forming last summer too. They precede the H&A/Death Squad and I'm sure they will long outlast the H&A and Death Squad. It's fine if any of y'all want to lampoon us
but I hope nobody actually thinks we're mean or exclusive or any of the above.
Also, I would like to point out that anybody who takes offense at the idea of a "clique" -- hi, you're on a sorority/fraternity message board.
