Juicycampus/Greekchat person

You forgot:

-XYZ has an awesome pledge class this year!
-OMG XYZ STOP WRITING THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF EVERYONE KNOWS IT IS A LIE.

Oh, and there's also a fair amount of gay bashing (in the sense of if someone wants to label a fraternity "bad" they say they're all gay) and racism.

I honestly feel like someone read my posts on here about which group had the most fireplaces and thought I was serious, and then took it and ran with it.

Teh intarwebs are so evil.

This site has caused so much heart ache on my campus with the exact kind of posts listed above. I try to get everyone to ignore the site, but they still visit it to see if anyone has said bad things about them.

Everyone wants to be liked and feel safe in their chosen environments, and this site undermines those feelings for the ones who are called out and others who wonder if they will be next on the chopping block.

It is a shame that cyber-bullying like this can continue. It is hate-filled and caustic, causing greeks to not trust each other.

We can not afford to let sites like these undermine years of positive relations with our universities and other greek orgs.

Encourage everyone you know to boycott the site, and all that will be left will be the petty, hate-filled bullies.

Thanks for reading my two cents!

So like, who's the hottest frats on campus?

-Nuh uh.

This chick is a whore.

-Totally a whore.
-You're a whore.
-I'm a whore.

Who's the top fratz on campus?

-We are.
-Frats all suck.
-We party hard.
-You guys suck now.

Who's the top sororities on campus?

-We are.
-You suck.
-Those girls are whores who do coke.
-You are fat.


That's the entire site. No more mystery. As I advised my undergrads, completely ignore it. Or, post hundreds upon hundreds of times - each post full of hilarious nonsense to make the site worthless in its pitiful aim.

You have obviously been on some of the more boring sections. And I assure you that is not the entire sum of posts regarding Greek life. The whole site focuses on Greek life - which school section did you look at?

How about the detailed and graphic descriptions of what jane Doe (insert her real name) supposedly did one night at the XYZ house on the ABC campus? Then, be sure to read the detailed comments on that post that further defame her character.
There are also accusations of rape - which name all participants, especially the fraternity and the girl involved.

I read with interest the opposition to tv shows like Greek, etc because of the damage they do to the reputation of Greeks in general, but am surprised that some of you dismiss this site as lies and gossip. I do not think in a small community(and no matter how big the campus, Greek life is a small community of people) anyone wants their name dragged through the mud in any capacity. Beyond the damage to individuals, this site does more to perpetuate negative Greek stereotypes than any book or movie or tv show.

I agree that it is filled with half-truths, blatant lies, etc, but no matter the degree of truth or lack thereof, this type of stuff is wrong and I think that someone who is maligned on the site should have some sort of recourse - which they do not. That has been my beef all along. That someone whose character has been impugned has no way to make it right. At least if someone writes a lie on a bathroom wall, it can be painted over or washed off...

While that's probably all true, no one actually pays attention to Juicy except for people who don't matter.

Well its actually very bad taste to verbally admit to reading it, and Ive never heard anyone verbally admit to writing anything, even though there are people I know who have done it. Nobody wants to admit it.

Obviously there are people who use this website who also post on JC, mainly that sorority girl from UCSB among many others I assume.
