I think at GC, everybody is Panhellenic and doesn't like the fact that some girls in top tier chapters can be, at times, catty and rude to PNMs, other chapters, etc. Many women on GC are, by their own admission, from chapters that struggled with recruitment and numbers and are very vocal about women being bitchy, starting rumors, etc because their chapters were very hurt by these rude actions. Essentially, they bemoan the fact (and rightly so) that these girls are campus "mean girls" and that it harms the Panhellenic community and specific chapters.
However, some people will say that in one post and then be the Greek Chat "mean girls" themselves and be rude to anybody they feel like it. Their excuses ("just deal with it, we're not changing") are identical to the excuses that those rude top tier girls use.
I see a lot of the same exclusivity, pretentiousness, self-congratulation, and quite frankly, tremendous insecurity, between the women who cut PNMs for exceedingly superficial reasons and start rumors and the women who gang up on random people with rude statements here.
I don't see how this connection is far fetched at all. In fact, I don't think it is. If people don't want to see it, or admit it, they won't.
