Noble and High-minded?

And your point would be...?

Dear Prune:

Your main objective on this board seems to be trying to drag skeletons out of closets. We've all got members we aren't proud of. I'm sure you would say the same for your own family.

If this is something you feel so strongly about, start your own website on which Greeks were SLA members/Manson girls/Barney cast members.

The skeletons are all out, 33girl. I'm having a devil of a time rounding them back up. Let's see...how about mom who was an undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, a brother who was a wife-beater, who left her shortly before their baby was born - didn't want to pay child support - and who was fired from several jobs for stealing? Is that bones enough? Oh...by the way...a few years ago he went to an SAE house and tried to get into it, saying that he was a member. When they found out he was lying, they kicked his butt to the curb. Just like my brother....
What's your GLO?

My point is that when it comes to disemboweling antagonists, nobody does it as well as some of the Greek posters here - and their noble sisters and brothers.

It really wants to make others trust, follow and obey....:

It has nothing to do with the fact that we're Greek. It has to do with the fact that many members on here don't like to put up with bullshit.

Perhaps we can disavow cow manure not by slinging it, but by pointing out where others are wrong. It doesn't take much to be nasty. It takes a lot to present a strong and reasoned argument that's not ad hominem.

Got us another weird one, guys....

So if you're so bothered by us, well...adios. Don't hang out and try to "innocently" get information (Sally Ride) and then attempt to zap us by what you've read and think you know. We couldn't care less about your opinions.

Dear Carnation: Gee, I hope I can stay! I promise not to say mean things about anybody except non-Greeks, who don't know better anyway. PEOPLE don't bother me. Certain attitudes and behaviors bother me. A few years ago I made a comment about Sally Ride not being in a sorority, and I was told in the firmest of terms that I was completely wrong. I've been trying to find out ever since what she was in. Maybe an honorary? Maybe one devoted to science (like Sigma Xi)? Maybe a service organization? Don't know. What I do know is that I've never found an answer. You can google "Sally Ride" and "sorority" and come up with a list of outstanding Americans - she among them - who are in GLOs.

I've been privately chewed out about "The Urban Legend of Carla Sander." It's not an urban legend, folks. Sorry.

I suppose now I should say that two of the people (yes, they're friends) that I admire most in my life are a KKG and a Chi O. Both are world-renowned scientists and pioneers in their respective fields.

Do you make a habit of going onto message boards as a newbie (August 2006) and insulting people? You must be well liked!

You won't find any wrongdoing to expose here or open anybody's eyes to what Greeks are "really" like. If you want to cause trouble, there are other boards that are a lot more vituperative.

This is a weird thread. I believe I'll find better elsewhere.

"Vituperative" - great word, Carnation!!!

Hmmm...causing trouble...I don't think I've smeared anybody that posts here. I also don't think I've said anything here that was a lie.

As far as message boards, if they're not interesting, I don't go back. If they are - and there are a lot of interesting subjects here - then I go back and participate.

Well, have you ever given any thought of just asking NASA?
I am sure one could find their web site in a matter on a few seconds.

Jon1856, I looked and Looked and LOOKED. I even went to SALLYRIDE.COM - Dr. Ride is a personal hero of mine whom I heard speak at Gaucher College many years ago - all to no avail. I thought that people here might know, and maybe somebody does. Thanks for the suggestion. Ever been to the Houston Space Center? Cool place - not as neat as the Air and Space Museum in DC, but still cool. Sorry for the digression.

Dinner is still cooking so I did your homework for you-took about 2 sec.:
