Apparantly speaking the truth is once again NOT allowed in RUSH threads...

Tippiechick · #1 10-07-2008, 08:34 PM

I find it very odd that the rush forum is going down the path of HPRL...

Someone pursues TWO groups to AI into. Finally, one accepts her. But, GOD FORBID someone actually talk about the sorority shopping process.

Get over yourself, anal rush mod.

ETA-- I EXPECT to know what was so wrong with my post that it was deleted without so much as a pm... KTX.

Tip, it's the freaking RUSH forum. You can get away with more in China.

Sorority shoppers have been very smart lately and have only been posting when they've "found their home". "Found their home" = "Found a poor, unsuspecting sorority to take them in."

I know she won't. But, I have to hope that one day the deleter will have the ova to admit it and defend it.

Some people just like their forum & their real life to look 100% perfect. We know the truth....LAME.

God I wish I had subscribed to that thread instead of just reading the new posts - I would have had your response in my inbox.

HPRL? AI? Shopping process? Help me out!

Speaks for itself. Started out while an undergrad in 2005, choosing NOT to rush b/c of being married. Decided to AI while still in school. (Yes, I remember the thread when it was brand new...) Interested in 2 sororities. Contacted two sororities. Waited, graduated, and now finally found a "home" (gag)...

I dared to speak a slight against AI.

It is not the wave of the future. It IS a way for some good, SELECT women to become productive members of GLOs through an honor bestowed upon them by a group. It should not be considered an alternative pathway to membership.

Soooo....okay, just trying to keep up. Do you feel that way just in NPC or in all GLOs? What about in NPHC sororities where it's not the standard but still "normal" to consider that as an alternative?

NPC's and NPHC's forms of membership selection are radically different even at the collegiate level. Ergo, you can't really compare them in any way.

I know. That's why, when I saw that Tippie said "all GLOs," I was taken aback. I wanted to see if she acknowledges there's difference in how it's done. I like Tippie's opinions, they make for fun threads.

I thought it would have been obvious why the post was deleted.

I'm no fan of sorority shopping either but once someone has been accepted into a sisterhood and has been initiated, the snarky comments are no longer about the AI but the NPC that initiated her. Someone from DPhiE met with her, their IHQ reviewed her and they saw fit to welcome her. That's their business.

When you continued bashing beyond initiation you were, in effect, bashing DPhiE and doubting their good judgement. It was offensive, so it was deleted.

Pretty simple stuff.

Well, by that standard, how dare we speak negatively of ANY member of a group?

Why don't you go over to HRPL? They hold to this mentality.

I don't see that as the same thing at all. It hadn't even been 24 hours since her initiation. DPhiE had just that day said by their actions that she met their criteria for sisterhood. But that isn't good enough for you. Have you met the poster? Yes, she sorority shopped. I'm not condoning it but there must have been more to her that appealed to DPhiE.

I just don't get why this is so hard to understand. I mean, even the worst of the PNM brats don't get bashed once an NPC has given them a bid.

No thanks. I've seen their mentality. I may be a proponent of being a little less abrasive, especially to new posters, but those people are off their nut.

Yeah, last time I checked, I am NOT a member of DPhiE. I can hold and express whatever opinion I have of their choice. Hell, we all know I have expressed my opinion on AI when it comes to MY sorority. I don't have to "clear" my thoughts with you, anyone else, or any IO.

Just because someone becomes a member of the greek community does not make them off-limits for comments, especially when they have sought membership in such a public way.

And, this girl's been posting for over three years. She's not a newbie. She's seen what has gone down on here. She was around during the heyday of sorority shopping at its worst... She's not off-limits just because she finally joined a group.
