Agree. Agree. Agree.
The only exception is for posters that really are great writers and/or there is a point for posting other than the ego of the writer. Two threads come to mind:
curlygirly
20something
Speaking of 20something... please allow me the podium for a moment so that I can get this off my chest:
One thing that annoys me soooo much is the overuse of "brutally honest" in these inane stories. If people would actually go back and read her excellent story then they would realize that most of the "brutal honesty" had to do with her own mistakes, growing as an 18 year old young woman, and other introspection that had to do with *her* and NOT the houses. Yes, she did include some possible dirty rushing, etc, but that thread was not created so that she could bash houses. Ugh at the immature posters who think that using the term "brutally honest" means that it is license to say negative things about the actives and the houses.
/steps off of podium
If posting your story has a point, then do it. If it is entertaining enough to make us laugh, then do it. If you just need attention and to feel important, then move along. We don't care. Each of us already has our own recruitment story so it is not like you are unique.

Also, I was trying to highlight some REAL recruitment stories that weren't the usual blah, blah, blah, and that included personal growth/realization/maturity by the poster. Both threads are great examples of how to write either a live or a retro story.
