Seriously, peeps. No one REALLY cares about your stupid rush story.

Silly heifer who had alcohol at rush parties amd multiple locals at a supercompetitive school rushing with the NPC groups being the first one I can think of.

EXACTLY.

I mean, this is GREEKCHAT. PNMs come here and ask for legit advice about recruitment.

I would hate for them to read some totally FAKE story and think that this is how Greek Life really is.

The thing that REALLY annoys me is the fact that PEOPLE STILL WANTED TO HEAR IT AFTER WE FOUND OUT IT WAS FAKE.

SERIOUSLY?

Are you THAT desperate to hear a rush story?

Yeah, that was amazing. Even more amazing was the grief that those who called out the fakers received. Come on people- there is real life to be led. A fake recruitment story should never be the highlight of your day.

But some of them, and I'm thinking of the original pink sequined stockings thread, really were that entertaining purely as fiction.

Maybe moderators could invent a
"this story is completely unverified and likely contains falsehoods" label they could put on threads suspected of being fiction.

ETA: have you read the Sweet Valley High Twins: Rush thread? I really don't know the name of it, but it was awesomely entertaining, to me at least, but I've read Pledged too, come to think of it. Maybe I do enjoy reading fake rush stuff more than the average person.
