The LURKERS among us!
There's always been more lurkers than actives here on GC, but lately there's waaaaaay more lurkers. There's been 600 people online since yesterday, yet GC is more inactive than ever. We beat our record on the 23rd, with 473 people online at once.
Who are these people?

Probably people reading up on the debacle at DePauw.
It usually gets crazy busy during recruitment, but I'm thinking that because of the national media attention it's been getting, a Google search definitely brings up all the discussion we've been having here.

I also think it has to do w/ the DePauw debacle.
I was curious, so I Googled simply "depauw sorority" - the links that come up are interesting... but the first link to greekchat is at the bottom of the second page of results. (as of 8:30amPST today)

I'm talking about within the last year. GC has been less active, yet have had more lurkers than ever. I don't think it's only actives who just started lurking, because I see many names I've never seen before.

Inter/National officers (including volunteer support staff) who like to keep tabs on their members so that they don't, dare I say it...go out of line?
Ya think?

Yeah, I'm pretty guilty of that too.  There's just no need to say the same thing over and over in a thread. If it doesn't contribute to the topic, why bother?

Maybe it is because people hate to see what some have to post and degrade others or put in their signatures!
The Drama is well, just that!!!!!!!!!!!
There is no helping anymore and maybe some should realize that!

But do you read without logging in? I'm just perpetually logged into both my work and my home computer. If I open up GC I'm already logged in....
To clarify, I set the "Remember Me" option.

Some of us are "Lurkers" because we are intersted in becoming a member of a greek organization. I don't post because I feel I have nothing constructive to say, nor do I have a question to ask. I'm in high school and I've heard so many stereotypes that I just want to get a real feel for the different soroities that I'm interested in. I don't want a watered down, recruitment oriented statement, I want real opinions from real members and observers.

If you want a "real feel" -- you won't get that from GC. You'll get that (hopefully) eventually when you actually get on that campus and meet the members yourself.
You're still in high school. I wouldn't really be interested in specific sororities at the moment if I were you. Things can definitely change from now until you actually go through recruitment.
Just my $0.02.
