i really really want to be in a sorority!!

[33girl]

I don't think anyone is saying that every single member - or even themselves - went through rush with only the most lofty of intentions. I'm sure out there is a sorority woman who just joined to meet a husband and wound up national president. The thing is the utter lack of social skills about the OP's posts.

The one sorority on my campus that I thought was just about being popular - I've seen these girls 20 years later, and there are still true bonds there. I think any chapter that's only about status and has no bonding whatsoever won't last.

I see statements like this one pretty often on GC. But, in reality, don't all of our organizations have members who started out like this? There are people out there who choose majors, jobs, cars, mates, etc. based on popularity, money, etc.

Those same people are in our organizations. You'd hope over time that we'd all begin to realize what's important in life.

In any case, when GCers advise PNMs and aspirants not to look at the most popular organizations, but to find the organizations they fit best into...well, what if the organization they fit into is an organization that is composed of people who are concerned about looks, popularity and money?

We all want different things out of life.

It's one thing to want to be associated with the "popular" girls... it's another to make ignorant comments, such as these:

Look, guys - the OP was sad that her thread died out, so she created another username to bump it. Are we really going to give her that kind of satisfaction?

[SydneyK]

I missed this thread the first time around; I'm so glad it was bumped! Here are some of my favorite parts about it:
1. The OP was edited by the OP for, of all things, spelling.
2. Freedom of speech, man!
3. Birth of a new band: Save the Aimees
4. Senusret I's comment about KSUViolet having wept because her internship causes her to miss GC fun
5. missdynamic saying, "no, I <3 myself, you are not me." (glad we got that settled!)
6. lolomgwtfbbqcnncbs (~KSUViolet) (I've never seen cnncbs at the end of lolomgwtfbbq, and I can't help but wonder what, if anything, it actually means. It also makes me think of an older GC thread where someone (crazy azul bat guano, perhaps) asked what the bbq meant and Dionysus(? maybe?) said, "Bitch, be quiet!" Ah, good times.)
7. Ad: "Crazy NPHC Rumors" got me tickled, too.

Thanks to this thread, it's been a lovely morning. Instead of popcorn and mixed drinks, I enjoyed this thread with a cup of coffee and a scone. I guess it's now time to actually work. Thanks for making my morning, GC! Happy Thursday!

I thought KSUViolet was trying to be funny and just added random 3 letter acronyms after wtf. lol

This.

[SydneyK]

^^ I get that they're cable channels. I just wondered if they meant something else. (Similar to how bbq is BBQ, but can mean something more entertaining like "bitch be quiet".)

ETA: Violet beat me to it. Thanks, Joce! Oh, and congrats on that 4.0!

LMAO i thought it was just BBQ as in, ribs, chicken, etc. because i read it aloud as "oh my god what the f*ck barbeque" which makes no sense but is funny to me.

cause i liken various GC threads to a hot plate of unexpected grilled meat, mentally exclaiming "OMGWTFBBQ."

I'm through with y'all LOL

[agzg]

LOL grilled meat - it's a good think I'm not at work today or they'd think I'm crazier than they already do for the belly laugh I gave that.

It was kinda like a santa-esque "Ho ho ho" - I should lay off the red and green M&Ms.

LOL!! I did not know it could mean Bitch Be Quiet either!!!! I thought it was just making fun of internet speak by adding a random acronym to the end of OMGWTF. Kind of like when people go "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ONE!!!11!!!ELEVEN!!"

I was really just making a general comment. It's been established that the OP isn't worth comment!
