Makes me sad what is happening over at fratty.net... It's such a fun website, when you want to talk about the less-serious side of being in a fraternity/sorority

At least their message boards are entertaining. I love reading about how all GLO's use coffins as part of their rituals.

Oh my gosh, I couldn't believe how many people were putting up secret rituals. I assumed that most of it wasn't true and was just stuff that people heard from people, etc. I had a guy come up to me at a party once and try to do some secret Tri-Delt stuff, but it was waaay off.

I like the post from someone claiming to be an Old Miss TriDelt saying that you don't let minorities pledge. I laughed b/c there is a TriDelt chapter at my old school just chalk full of Latinas, Blacks, & Asians. These people are idiots but good for an occasional laugh. The sad thing is, I just bet there is some idiot out there taking all that nonsense as gospel.

Oh. My. Gosh.

So, I went over to check out the message boards on fratty.net that everyone is talking about in this thread, and what did I see?

A user by the name of Kristin **********.

WOW, I guess I am impressed. I think?

"The Biggest % is Alums"? Where in the hell did that come from and who thinks they know?

Well, just look at the count of People, Not Members who have signed onto to GC. Many do and dont post.

Well, maybe We are becoming Notorious, Infamous or Semi-Well K-Nown!

Bouy, I might nerd to check on that other site?

At Convention last year we were on strict orders from our International President not to even mention "GreekChat" officially.

I think it's on a chapter to chapter basis for us.

It's not nice to talk about Rudey when he's not here to defend himself.

The things that they say about southern sorority girls is true. Sorry. Yes, I said it. As I'm sitting here in my Polo button-down, Ralph Lauren Jeans, Rainbows, and pearl earrings. Seriously. And I think that's why all of us southerners got into it faster. One of my ZTA friends is the one who introduced me to the board. I was laughing my butt off, because a lot of the stuff related to her (Lexus SUV... Fratty!) and then I realized that a lot of it was about me as well. I don't think it's about not thinking that highly about ourselves, rather being able to laugh at ourselves. Granted, some of the shacking stuff is a little degrading, but I mean, that stuff's not untrue, either.

OK... Go ahead... Rip me apart.

I'm not going to rip you apart. I wasn't very aware of the site in the past. Out of curiosity I checked out some of the message boards. What I personally disliked most were the pretty frequent slurs regarding skin color, ethnicity, and religion. "Slurs" may be too mild a term; "fighting words" is closer to the truth in some instances.

Just didn't seem like a site where I'd feel comfortable posting.

To be fair, though, I guess it would be a resource for anyone who wanted to argue at great length about the social rankings of Greeks at a relatively few mainly southern schools.

This site is a lot better, we have all the good topics, even the risque ones, without the idiots.

I am surprised anyone bothers to try, the few posters that mean well are overwhelmed by the . . . idiot posters.

Yeah, I agree with that. But, unfortunately, it's the way some people think. And anyway, I think it's more in fun. I wouldn't post either... unless I was trying to get out pent-up aggression concerning things that I can't say on this politically correct site.
