Hi...I was just wondering if any of you had IPT on your campus?

SH80...For some reason I don't think this person is legit.

Muffy,

You're just asking to get booted off the boards, aren't you?

Do tell us, Muffy dear....is it difficult to go through life without friends? Obviously, it makes one a tad bitter. Perhaps, since you have a great deal of time on your hands, you could start your own chapter of "IPT" on your campus. You could recruit all the other rejects and have a peachy-keen time

By the way, since you are a stickler for proper grammar and punctuation, please note that the title you gave your post is not correct. There should not be an apostrophe before the S in "Thi's" unless the Thi in question is possessing something. Just because you are a goober is no reason to sound like one

I'm not a stickler for grammar and punctuation. Just spelling, because it can be easily checked using either a spell check function, or a dictionary.

I'm not in a sorority. I went to Rutgers University in pursuit of an EDUCATION (see dictionary for further understanding of that term). I made fun of people in sororities, who paid money to have friends and a sense of belonging, and to continue high school cheerleading camp on a grander scale, with big houses and dreamy frat guys.

My brother went to Mississippi State. He too made fun of the sorority gals, their Duck Head shorts and lil' bows in their hair. He said that they were the phoniest people he had ever encountered in his life.

It's hard for me to fathom how anything I have done would make me a loser, when you spend your days talking to your invisible friends about whether or not Christina Agulera is cool, and your favorite hair products. It's completely vacuous, like your sororities themselves. All the while, you are humorless and exclusionary to those not affiliated with the Greek system.

So, if making fun of something so completely pathetic makes me a loser, than I'll wave that flag high and proud!

I think she's lying. I bet MSG belongs to Tau Alpha Alpha (T&A) sorority!

And don't you ever accuse me of being a prissy! I don't talk about Christina Aguilera
or my hair style! We all are not the same!

Pay no attention to Muffy, GreekChat. She'll be swept out the door with the rest of the trash soon enough.

[Muffy Sorority Girl]

....and you will have done nothing to change my (or society's in general)opinion of you. The community service and pretend love for one another is just an attempt at legitimizing a practice that has outlived its usefulness.

Muffy,
if you are not in a sorority, why the original post asking for help in dealing with sisters who are not discreet when recounting their conquests of the prior night.

if you look down upon sorority members,why bother coming to a board entitled greek chat, where members of fraternities and sororites celebrate the bonds they share.

i have to concur with other GC regulars and raise a red flag on your legitimacy.

if causing trouble is your idea of fun, you need a hobby.

i mean no offense, but your inconsistent statements have been screaming for someone to address them.

[33girl]

Muffy,

Please share with us all how making fun of Greek organizations caused you to reach this enlightened state that gives you the right to pass judgement on an extremely large group of people across the USA and Canada.

I sincerely hope that your tenure at Rutgers (I guess that is supposed to impress the @#*$ out of me or something) is not what conferred upon you your present sour state of mind; if so, I would ask for a refund.

[dzrose93]

Just ignore little ole Muffy. I'm sure she's used to it after all these years.

Muffy -

The ideas that are outdated, useless, underinformed, and generally poorly regarded are the ones you're showing us today. You have culled your opinions of greek life from pop-culture movies made just after I was born, and from accounts that are hearsay and second-hand at best.

I don't pay for a single one of my friends, and I don't attend "cheerleading camp" on any scale. I am not a jock, a bonehead, a drug addict, a meathead, an asshole, or whatever brush you desire to paint me with - instead, I am taking classes at Boston University to get an education, as part of a challenging major, and am doing very well - very similar to what you proclaim to have done at Rutgers. The fraternity represents a group of people that I share a common bond and interest with, not a group of instant friends - I have great friends outside of my house, as well as some on the inside. Dues go toward functions of the group, whatever they may be - not to any person as 'payment' for friendship, and the very notion of this is ridiculous. Money cannot buy friendship, and I can tell you first-hand this is a universal truth.

My organization is in no way vacuous - instead, it was founded on virtue and character, and exists to this day upon those same principles. You cannot convince me that all things banal exist only in the greek system; instead, when these things are represented w/in the greek system, they do so because they exist in life. Things like hair-care products and television shows, while "vacuous" to you (and others i'm sure), are a part of life, and are parts that many people take seriously. Instead of judging people based upon their affiliation with a particular group, perhaps you should take each person on his or her individual worth, and stop bashing a system which you have no first-hand knowledge of other than simplistic observation (which does not make for a suitable assay in this instance).

While I'm sure you find it deplorable that this site exists to cater to the entertainment and support needs of the greek community, I would like to know why you linger here - I find it of inordinate stupidity that you bash a site you continue to post at. Your opinions are rehashed from arguments that hold little water, and you will recieve no support for them here. If you would like to continue an argument on a purely intellectual level, I invite you to - but please do not continue the petty generalizations that you have brandished thus far.

Rob,
All I have to say is... BRAVO!!!! That was extremely well put.
