To preppie

[KatieQ]

First, you go and insult all the KD's. Then, you move onto Zeta. What other sororities do you have a complaint about? Your comments are rude and ignorant. You're a greek lady so please have some more class than that. Support other sororities instead of trying to bring them down.

When a person asks for his/her opinion on a particular fraternity or sorority, it's somewhat expected that one is going to get a positive or a negative opinion. In Preppie's case, she has a negative opinion on a lot of sororities-but she does state reasons and her observations of those on her campus.

Her opinion was asked for, so please deal with it. If she has a beef with other GLOs then it's her problem, not yours. Whether she's a Greek lady or not, she is still her own person and I don't think it's right for you to ask her to conform to a "proper" Greek attitude just because you don't agree with her.

Thanks KatieQ!
Do you guys not understand the difference between stating your opinion and being polite about it!? You can feel negative about a chapter, and point this out, without completely bashing the chapter. This is just ridiculous! Have a little consideration for others! It's all about class...

An opinion is fine. Insulting is not.

I've read Preppie's comments about the sororities, and frankly I don't consider them insulting. If she said something to offend me or AGD I wouldn't make a big deal about because it happens all the time all the time and it's nothing new!

Making comments about her attitude is only adding fuel to the fire...which would probably lead her to make more of those comments. It's too bad that the majority can't handle insults-on a message board! If I were you I wouldn't take her seriously, since it does seem to bother a lot of you. I'd just ignore her if that's the case.

I think we should all give preppy a break. Yes she has definately offended people with her phrasing(myself included), but that's life. I agree that she probably could have used more tack, or follow my rule Always speak to build character. have a happy christmas preppy

I agree with preppie on this one. If you read her other posts you see that she is merely givi ng her opinion, and that obviously the Zetas and KD's are not very good at hearing opposition. It's an opinion people! Chill!

[lovelylocks]

Why on earth would preppie want to give out her name and chapter when all you seem to do is insult her every chance you get? I am all for freedom of speech, and cannot believe that this board is so CLOSED MINDED! Also, I have scrolled through her posts, and found that sjhe never refered to herccomments as insults, only opinions.Best of luck preppie!

Okay, I really didn't want to get back into all of this but I don't think it's fair to criticize every statement preppie makes. She is judging the chapters from what she sees. There are many different criteria to judge a chapter on and, as I have recently been reminded, people do not necessarily look at all the different aspects of sorority life when voicing their opinion of a particular chapter.

I've made two remarks on this message board that have been taken the wrong way but I didn't intend for either of them to be rude. I deleted my comment about KD because when I looked back on it I understood how it could be misconstrued as rude. (For the records, I didn't mean that KD's members were of "sketchy" quality, but I'd heard that a lot of them drop out of the sorority.) I said Zeta was a weaker chapter because they have trouble with numbers.

Anyhow, I just wanted to stick up for preppie because people aren't realizing that she isn't in a sorority yet and her opinions are based on what she sees and hears outside of the greek community. Honestly, if someone said something negative about my sorority (and believe me--they have), I would take that as a sign of something we need to improve. (By the way, ecukd, you're right about me being a Tri-Sigma.)

[preppie]

Deleted, done with,OVER! I regret the day I ever thought it was ok to express a thought on this message board about a sorority. Thanks kittie! Happy Holidays you guys, and remember that "A closed mind never opened any doors".

[kdgirlie]

i really think we should leave poor preppie alone. I am pretty sure she gets the message without so much berating. Since she is not ina sorority and certainly wants to be in one, we can empathize Have a Happy Holiday everyone. I hope we weren't to hard on you.

Preppie, I think the best idea for you is to meet some of the girls from each sorority and see how you feel about them, not how others have told you to feel. You should think about going to different rush parties in the Spring or the Fall and getting to know the girls instead of listening to others gossip about what happened in one chapter or that this chapter is the best, so on and so forth. Don't listen to what others say. Go with your heart. Happy Holidays! Go Greek!
