It's true, although there are a couple of men 2 years behind me. Actually, we have a lot of teachers over 50--I think it makes the school calmer.

And some kid just brought a possum in here.

I’ll add the meaning of this word to the other things I’ve learned on GC.

I never put what the word meant!

Correct. You didn’t, but bevinpiphi did — the reason I quoted her post with the correct spelling in it, and not yours.

As an educated guess, I've noticed the highly popular "What do you feel like saying, right now?" GC thread may tally ten million views and 70,000 responses by the end of 2024.

(Not that it's anything I've learned, pretty much just a random observation.)

What I observed about this site compared to Black Greek Forums, where I was a regular, I didn’t see the moderators over there chatting with the regular members like they do here. If they did, it wasn’t much. Over here, the moderators are in conversation with most everybody. But then again, over here, it’s about five regulars posting, more than half of those are moderators. There’s three popular threads here, two of them are “you say this, I say that” threads. Just an observation.

Part of that might be because GC has been around so long that a lot of us are longtime friends on social media.

But we love to come here too!

I can say I enjoyed reading CG’s and aggieAXO’s posts to each other about life as a veterinarian. Learned some things there, although most of what they were talking about to each other was foreign, to me. But I got a lot of free advice about my dog from them. I found a good vet because of them, too.

Ohhhh no, that wasn’t free! You owe us, Mister! You can pay on the “Buy a Coffee” thread.

How ruthless NPC inter/nationals are about closing chapters (outside of hazing/risk management issues)

[SWTXBelle]

I've learned a great deal about the Divine Nine and multi-cultural Greek organizations.

[NinjaPoodle]

I've learned a great deal about NPC recruitment, i.e. bid matching, quota, recruitment on large campus' vs smaller, COB/informal vs formal, dirty rushing, et..
