"Tempestuous" always make me think of Robert Herrick:
Delight in Disorder
A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness:
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction:
An erring lace, which here and there 5
Enthrals the crimson stomacher:
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbands to flow confusedly:
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat: 10
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

Trust SWTXBelle to bring us back to something more civil.

Actually, these are all just thread hijacks.

It is an LOL word.

SWTXBelle! You now have me picturing Sophia Loren. Or Gina Lollobrigida, or Raquel Welch. Someone like that. And I'd completely forgotten that Robert Herrick poem.
Well, not that it matters, but I think "another thread derailed" has been added to my "naughty" column. Sigh. Back to the bleachers, again.

This was my English professor Dr. Peterson's favorite poem,which he would recite at the drop of a hat.
AzTheta - I personally love a good thread derailing.

As for southernbelleRANDOMSTRINGOFNUMBERS (how many times have we seen THAT name on GC?), perhaps prior to calling usernames out on being rude, one should take a look at whether or not calling someone racist for objecting to black face but not white face is appropriate?
ALSO, you flounced DAYS ago. Either stick to your promise or don't, but stop trolling. You added nothing of value to this thread.

I was so legitimately puzzled at being considered rude here.
Like, I come home from almost four hours of a TA lecturing about religious issues in the US v. his home country (Turkey) in an accent that requires subtitles (and I am NEVER one to comaplain about accents because I can still understand most people) in a class about TEACHING READING to a post about how I my "tone" repeatedly crushes PNM's self-esteem?
WTF homies? If I'm the resident self-esteem crusher, you should probs take your ball elsewhere.

No, dude, OP is way over-sensitive, or mis-read your post or something. You were very helpful.

It is really difficult to post on Greekchat with all of the mean moderators. I find it hard to just type the most civil exchanges.

It just sounds like the OP got butthurt because you exposed her at her little trick. Of course her special snowflake was going to be on the first bid list--she visited the house!!!

I thought that your post was fine.
Regarding recs, I agree that 2-3 *quality* recs for each chapter at all three universities would be the ideal. By quality I mean that the recommender knows the daughter personally and can give a rounded picture of her.
The OP might also consider telling her daughter to leave the DZ legacy status off of the general application form for recruitment (on the campuses that have DZ chapters.) DZ will already know her legacy status through the recs. No other chapter needs to know.

I think the OP misread your statement as an accusation and not a warning in general. I'm assuming she has since figured that out. I was a little perplexed at the response to your (what I thought was) helpful post. Maybe we should have a rule that lurkers need to read a set number of threads all the way through before being allowed to post. There would be a lot less hurt feelings and misunderstandings on here!
