Don't flatter yourself - really. Your first post was a judgemental, smug attack on those had given the op good advice. What I feel strongly about is misrepresenting what I and many of my fellow long-established GCers have written here. I don't want to find a reason to insult you - but I will call you, and any one else, to task for faulty reasoning and poor logic. (Alas, all those years of teaching Rhetoric have warped me.)As you may have noticed, we've all heard the "We're all different - like everyone else!" thing so much that we've become somewhat amused by it.
I stated several posts ago that YOU would be unable to resist coming back and once again making this all about you. So I ask you - was I right or wrong?
If you want to let it go, then do. No one is forcing you to come back and try and justify yourself. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU.
It should be, and I want to make it about, enabling the op to have a successful recruitment at an SEC school. You have no experience or insight in that arena, so really can't advise her.
If the most important thing about her is indeed her tattoo, then she should by no means hide it. But if perhaps it is a small part of who and what she is, then by covering it she allows her personality and other character traits to be the focus.

The link I gave was a direct link from the berkeley website.....not sure how you could miss it. Plus, that site doesn't have a single MC sorority listed and the list is stated as "coming soon." I'm not sure how that served as "proof" we're not backed by the university.
It was never my intent of giving off my "We're all different - like everyone else!" attitude. I merely stated I found it sad that a tattoo would hold her back in recruitment. There's more to people than there tattoos or even their appearance....which was the main point I was trying get across. That is bigger than me and I'm not too sure why you would think that point would be "all about me." I'm putting in my two cents and I do have friends who are in and/or were in the greek system at SEC schools so I do have some knowledge from their stories of recruitment. Some chapters will not be bothered by visable tattoos and some will not take the time to talk to you if they see it. It sucks but that's life.
