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!

So do we say that we are friends of John?

Thanks for those words of encouragment. It's good to know there are others out there like me

.
I do wonder why it's so addictive especially as one of you mentioned when we are PM-ing to find out about girls we don't even know but are emotionally invested in now.
Rush must just be so intense that it burns itself into our psyche and we respond as we did after (for me) almost 30 years. Who can forget how exciting it was to get the cards back (and to show you how old i really am...they were computer punch cards. google it) you were hoping for and how much it hurt not to. I feel for these girls and moms when they are feeling those things now.
A little heavy for 6AM

but....
Now off to the next thread before anyone wakes up!

Rush threads aren't as good as the ones from before.

That's all I have to say.

GC's okay.

First day on the site and I already feel addicted! I should be working, too. I feel so guilty!

After D left for college (in another state) and I knew I wouldn't see her till Thanksgiving, as an "empty nester" I got addicted to the Rush Stories as well as the whole North/South differences and find the whole thing amazing. I wasn't Greek (except for Sigma Delta Chi for Journalists) so did not have a clue about Greek life. When I discovered GC I had to ask hubby "what is an SEC school"? Needless to say, I've learned a lot here from you guys. Sometimes I wake up and wonder, which houses the GC girls are going back to so I guess that constitutes me as an addict.

Oh, and my best friend from Charleston said I need to stop saying "you guys" and switch to "y'all" in order to make friends now that we've moved down South.

OP, I am ROLLING with laughter at how accurately you describe my life (or lack thereof!).

I thought I was the only one who said "honey, go on to bed, I'll be there in a minute" and snuck in well after midnight! Is it an addiction when you are PMing a random girl and asking the code name for Kappa in her recruiment story??? Why do I care if XYZ sorority made quota at State U???

Did anyone call it MS before they found GC? I'm expanding my internet vocabulary daily.

Thank goodness I am not the only one. I think every pnm should have to read what not to do during recruitment. Schools should print out the advice and let these girls know how to act, what they should bring, etc. <<just my two cents>> But again I am glad I am not the only one addicted to this place!
