And you know what else is creepy? Sorority shoppers who pretend that they are not....thank goodness that crap has slowed to a trickle.

ETA to everyone in general: GC is so fucking anal retentive lately. I remember when the H&A, Rudey, Cashmoney, etc. used to post. You might not have agreed with them. You could even start a whole thread about how you disliked them. But, you weren't so fucking uptight that you suggested everyone hold hands and sing songs about rainbows, ponies, and getting along. Hell, dealing with Earp was even better than dealing with the dumbasses that have joined in the past year or two.
The thread was started to deal with an issue I (and others) find to be important. The stories are getting more and more "out there" and fake. People are posting shit from 20 years ago that they can barely remember. And, like KD said, if it's people who are regular, known members it is one thing. But, people are crawling out of the woodwork to post stories that are ridiculously long who have really no connection to GC.
And, I would like to take this opportunity to educate those who seem to be new to GC... This is place where you are free to talk about anything. And, if you do, I am allowed to laugh at it, parody it, or just bitch about it. Like y'all have mentioned -- if you don't like it, ignore it. You're no better than I am for coming in and adding your two cents.

Seriously, no one cares that you don't care about retro rush threads.
"Wanna hear my rush story?" > The sounds of tiny violins against your bitching and moaning. you definitely are that bitch.
And I want you to come at me with something better than GC Kitchen. Its up there with "I know you are but what am I."

Really? You mean, your heart didn't stop for this thread like ours did?
Can you apply your post to your choice to read and respond to this thread? Try to.

Yeah. People have started to figure out that guess what? No one can call you a "sorority shopper" if you're not posting about different sororities all over the internet.

Tippie, that's not a "newer member." That's Earp. Again.

What the hell is this? We have always been civil and friendly, I thought. I didn't even know you liked recruitment threads. Guess I do now.
I have always liked you. I am actually a bit puzzled by your post. It's kinda coming out of left field for me and for the first time in history, I think I am speechless.

I thought we were just going off in this thread cause we could. :shrugs shoulders:
ETA: actually tippiechick, I'm pretty indifferent to retro threads-dont love or hate them. And you're actually not so bad yourself. I just didn't think retro threads were that big a deal to warrant a thread of such snark.
The fake/mock stories are funny but some take it too far until they're not funny. Those posters are just reaching. (So maybe were kinda saying the same thing? Dunno. GC just aint that deep to me.)

I agree that most of the retro stories are total crap except mine, which is an enduring piece of autobiographical literature second only to The Education of Henry Adams.

Yes, but the NPC women CAN, and one of the biggest problems with the NaNoWriMo crowd is that they use the oldest and most untrue stereotypes. Even if they have a positive ending (OMG, I joined what I thought was the loser chapter and I'm sooooo happy) they don't present an accurate picture of Greek life. Silly heifer who had alcohol at rush parties amd multiple locals at a supercompetitive school rushing with the NPC groups being the first one I can think of.
Put it this way. Imagine if someone wrote a "my journey through NPHC researching" thread and the phrase "paper bag test" came up.

Yeah, up until that I wasn't sure who really had the crazy. I can understand deciding that exposing yourself to that level wasn't worth it.
