I liked the OP's candor too, and frankly, I don't think she said anything too negative or innapropriate. If the majority of the girls in a chapter seem to look similar, it's only natural to notice!

The candor is refreshing and fun to read, but it's kind of complicated when you think someone might be setting herself up for a negative outcome.

It's certainly not that I want a negative outcome for her, but when a junior at a competitive school is making a lot of superficial judgments first round, it doesn't seem to typically equal recruitment success.

Let's hope that the new junior quota and littlemissvixen's merit get a different outcome this time around!

Their med school is there as well I think so it's certainly not a crazy idea. I have no idea of any sort of timeline or if it's a done deal or not. It's just out there at this point I think.

Wait, wait, wait....

HARVARD ON THE HILL IS (possibly) GOING TO BE A U of I BRANCH???????????

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

My mom actually worked at the UofI AIDS clinic for awhile. She loved that job. The only thing she didn't like is "back then" people still weren't living like they are now, and so she was constantly having to deal with client's deaths.

Remember - she isn't a sorority member - she is a rushee. This just goes to show that it isn't always the sorority members who are looks-focused. Many times, it's the exact opposite.

Oh, one more thing- there's more than one Jewish sorority on campus, so that detail doesn't give it away.

You beat me to it. Many GCers are used to just one Jewish sorority on campus, and it being an unpopular chapter. Certainly not the case at my alma mater.

I'm pretty sure, though, that if someone from that chapter was reading, they would know who you were talking about. That's what I'm saying.

Agreed. I won't be surprised if someone is reading all these posts. Remember, it may be hard for them to decode your given nicknames, but it's not hard to pin you down, especially the fact that you said you're a transferred junior, it makes it even easier, because they will bound to ask you questions like, "Why did you decide to rush as a junior" and you can't really lie about not being a transfer, right?

Plus, from your second "report" post you started off with the header "More Dirt" just shows you don't really treat any of the sororities with any respect. This is not a drama club you are rushing...

AlphaFrog · #10 09-05-2007, 01:45 PM

I don't know...there's 1197 girls signed up to rush. That's A LOT of people to pick from. I would be a little more cautious, but it's still a needle in a haystack scenario.

I agree that it's probably not hard to figure out who she is, but the "more dirt" header was also followed by a "

". I don't think it should have been taken so seriously.

You don't give GC sleuths enough credit... it is amazing what we can figure out with a just a few meager bits of information. Even if they seem innocuous.

No doubt, she certainly narrowed it down. The lay person will not be able to figure it out. Only members from Illinois and GC sleuths.

I'm loving these descriptions!

Truthfulness + some shallowness + a pinch of discretion (waiting until the next round of invites) = very entertaining thread! Good luck littlemissvixen.

DeltaBetaBaby · #15 09-05-2007, 07:45 PM

GUYSSSS!!!!! She listed the sororities in alphabetical order!!!!! The engineering sorority is AOE, which means she confused it with AOPi and added that at the end.

I am certain the descriptions match up!
