Greek Chat is Internet Crack
At first I just wanted to read what others had written. I didn't think it would hurt me. Then, I started thinking about posting. Just a few thoughts in reaction to what I was reading. I never meant to really post.
Eventually it happened. My will power broke and I posted. Once I started I couldn't stop. That doesn't even count the reading.
My first all reading night started off with a midnight sign off. The next night it was 1:30a.m. "I'm never doing that again," I scoffed. I was right. I didn't stop at 1:30 am; itwas 2:30. There I sat, mouse in hand, finally satisfied after God knows how many threads. I was hooked and I knew it.
I didn't control it, it controlled me. What was happening to UGADad's daugher? Were other rec writers having their rushees cut after one or two rounds? Will Classic Beauty drop out or pledge? And who are the stilettos? There was more to take in than I could handle.
And here I sit, on my lunch hour, with a drink in one hand and a mouse in the other, trying to pretend like I can go for the rest of the day without logging in. How did it get so out of control? Sarah Ida Shaw, help me!

LOL ... Does GC have GC-Anonymous set up yet?
You're not alone. I've been perusing GC for ages and only recently had the novel idea to actually register. I don't post much, but when I do it's like taking a hit of GC goodness.
At least you held off until lunch. I've been on since I sat down at my desk this morning.

My productivity drastically diminshes during recruitment! I check first thing when I get in in the morning and continually check throughout the day. Esp. if something goes wrong at work its like I need a recruitment update to make things better.
I have problems.

my name is OneTime, and i am a GC-aholic. don't believe it? look at how many posts ive had since APRIL!!!
lets face it, we are a special group of people with one thing in common...we are all opinionated Greeks. 99% of us have a strange sense of humor.
i love reading things on here, laughing out loud, being asked if i am crazy, and repeating that cycle lol! its ok. admitting we have problems is the first step!

Rush threads aren't as good as the ones from before.
That's all I have to say.
GC's okay.

Me, too
I am super glad that it is not just me! My husband sees me on this website and just rolls his eyes, hahaha.
Just so you know, I am from the South, lived everywhere, with a military family , live in the South now, and I say y'all and you guys interchangeably.
I think I'm on this site more everyday.
Gotta love GC.

Now, if my husband would just try to understand......

Dear Esther,
We are here for you, sister! lol Recruitment season is the most interesting time of the year on Greek Chat. Wait until the first week of September when recruitment is taking place all over the country. When your own chapter is involved it is even harder to leave the computer.
Welcome to the board.
