1. Is there such a thing as a necessary beat down?
2. Who informed you that you would be receiving a "beat down" at any time?
3. When did the terms "pledge" and "haze" become interchangeable?

4. If you are CERTAIN that Sorority #2 won't have a problem, then why are you asking US for advice? It seems that you have your answer already.
5. Why does it matter that your supervisor would be disappointed?
6. Why would you defer seeking membership based on others?

And there you have it, folks! The coup de grace!

Though there's SO much more, I'll leave my comments there.

Chile Remedyignae-

Your poor character and indiscretion makes you less of a candidate for anyone's sorority. Why would anyone want to vote for you now? You just broadcasting internal business of your campus' NPHC chapters on public messageboard. You have worse problems than being extended an invitation to join anything.

I would be more than happy to request your IP address by the GC Site Owner, ID your location and inform all the D4 sororities on your campus of your behavior here... But, I figure that if you were given enough rope you would...

Okay, whatever, good luck with that!

You are one of the rudest people that I've encountered in a long time. You don't know anything about me and you come at me like you do. Like I said earlier if I offended anyone with my comments, I apolpgize. My indiscretion is at stake but what do you expect on a greek chat website? I did not tell you what organizations I'm refering to, my name, or my university. If the organization is doing something that isn't right then thats not my problem. Futhermore, God Bless you and I pray that you will be more helpful to others in the future.

Wow, I assume your org of interest is not AKA. In fact the only D4 of which I have heard members state publicy that they pledge is Z Phi B.

Oh and there is this thing called an IP address that indicates where a computer is. Someone who can access IPs CAN find out your location, so yeah you messed up.

Yep. Unless John's changed the software, the moderators of the individual forum (excluding the super mods) should be able to see IP addresses. I often frequent www.ip-adress.com to see who's reading my MySpace and my blog. (Yes, it's misspelled on purpose)

How does that work? Sorry for being so ignorant, but if it just tells you your own. . . ETA: Duh, nevermind, I see the additional place to click now for the next page. Where do you pick up the IPs of folks visiting your site?

And honestly, I know this downplays striking fear into the hearts of people who posts stuff they don't want tied back to them, but don't most of us have temporary IP addresses these days?

I have a program that logs IP addresses of those who visit my site. That program I can't reveal. Copy the IP address into that website, and voila!

I don't. Mine is static.

Child, please, I am 40 years old and a Moderator at the AKA Avenue.

You just blankly said that the initial sorority of your interest PLEDGES on a public message board--GC...

Who knows if your are more upset by the behavior of the president or if you fear what others might think. Either way, whatever the International Websites says about membership is the ONLY language you go by. End of discussion.

As far as your thought processes here, you are in cognitive disequilibrium about who we know. It is a matter of finding out where you are from an IP address and informing the appropriate people on your campus about what has been stated on GC.

The other issue is I am sick and tired about folks posting stuff about how to become a member of LMNOP organization and are NOT members. How the Hello to you know until you are fully initiated. Even if you think you are cool with members, you underground pledged and are a ghost or whatever, or know every ritual in the book, if you have not paid your dues to the organization and are reaping the T-shirt benefits of the organization, but fail to serve, then to me you need to reconsider joining anything at this time... Really... Besides, your GPA reflects immensely here, LOL.

This is what gets our organizations in trouble and I am not trying to pay more in my dues during this time of economic depression.

You are asinine and your issues are lilliputian. Please do not consider attending any functions related to membership of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Thank you.

Good luck with your efforts though...

1&2. Excuse me for my poor storytelling skills but its known on campus that sorority #1 hazes. At the time I didn't know about this because I am a transfer student.

3.Also I know the difference between hazing and pledging but its the way that the president said it and the attitude that she had.

4. I am asking for others opinions to see if anyone can relate to this same situation. I would like someone elses perspective. It could have happen to someone on here or maybe someone has an opinion on if a potential pledgee went through the same.

5. Don't you think that if someone has their heart set on you joining their organization that there would be conflict if you didn't? We work together on a daily basis and I don't think she is going to take it lightly that I've changed my mind.

6. Self-explanatory. I don't want there to be any drama involving me on-campus. I'm afraid that sorority #1 may not look at me the same, may try and slander me, & etc.

If the chapter is truly hazing, then the advisors of that chapter should take action and stop it. So, I really would not worry about that.

I think you've come here looking for answers that no one can tell you.

Going greek is a personal decision, we (the general public) can not help you.

If it feels right to join one group over another for what ever your reasons are, then go by that. In the end this is a life long decision and no one could or should tell you what to do.
