Well, I guess that's true, but I'd still be careful. Also, I'm not sure how many multiple-legacies go through at your school. The school was kindof seen as anti-greek for a while (several orgs. have left and some have come back), so it has a different feel than the system at, say, a certain rival school. But I could be off, so others may correct me.

Regardless of the fact that you don't reveal their identities, the fact that you've already said you're a legacy to two houses already puts you in a unique group. I don't know how many double legacies will be rushing on your campus, but the fact that you are one singles you out.

I suppose in that case I won't post my recruitment story. Maybe I'll just post where I end up taking a bid instead.

JESUS H. CHRIST.

NO ONE FREAKING TOLD YOU TO NOT POST YOUR RUSH STORY.

All I said was to not assume that no one will figure out who you are. That's it.

I've been reading for about a month I think. This might sound jerky, but I mean it more in exasperated good humor.

Some girl will start her rush story and either a concerned citizen or a killjoy will jump in and tell her "Oh don't tell us that! People can figure out who you are."

I don't get what the problem is. It's a public forum. Posters have to know that. If they search for their schools, they'll see people from their campus.

If the PNM chooses to tell her story, she's probably aware that anyone could read it. If she says bad stuff and people can figure out who she is, she runs the risk of getting cut. It's hard to see how she wouldn't know that.

If she's not saying anything bad, what's the harm? Even if people could guess who she is and who her favorites are, so what?

(Really, people, couldn't you guess the favorites of any PNM at your campus? First round, you know they love XYZ. Second round, if they get cut by XYZ, then they'll probably look at QRS or ABC. If you don't know how the groups in your greek system rank up, a PNM Greek Chat rush thread is the least of your worries. )

(Why do bad sports even have to guess? They kind of say, "it could be harmful if anyone figures out who you are. Let me do it for them by outing your campus." What the hey, people? Why do you do this? Sure, I suppose if someone had access to all of the information forms they could count the double legacies, but until you suggested it, how likely was it to happen?)

If you rush was ruined by your Greek Chat thread, please speak up. I want to understand what happened.

I doubt that the most famous one will post, sorry. She hasn't posted on GC since she depledged her sorority.

What happened in the most famous case? What got her into trouble?

Out of respect to her and to the two sororities involved, I'd rather not discuss her situation publicly. Longtime GCers know what I'm talking about, though.

I only do this because she and I exchanged PMs quite a bit back then and it was a heartbreaking situation all around.

All I will say is that "DISCRETION IS KEY!" started around the time this PNM depledged her sorority.

[UGAalum94]

It's not that I doubt that you, OTW, have the PNM's best interests at heart, but really now, why'd you bring up the most famous case only to say that you can't discuss it?

I understand that your knowledge may go beyond what was public, and so, in good conscience, you don't want to fill me in, but why post an enigmatic reference in the first place?


Maybe we can try this instead:
Can a rush story be told in such a way as to:
enhance the PNM's rush experience,
captivate Greek Chat readers,
provide feedback to chapters during rush (even in a general sense)?
If so, how? If not, why?

[CaliforniaGirl7]

I know they didn't tell me that. But a couple people certainly implied that it could somehow be dangerous if I post my story. So why should I bother writing out my entire story on here if it could somehow jeapordize my rush. I'll post where I end up so anyone who is interested can see if they have a new sister. I don't see why you're so up in arms. I've just rethought my original plan of posting my experience, and keeping it safe by simply posting where I eventually end up. That's what's important afterall.

How's this for a suggestion?

Why don't you post your rush story AFTER you're done?

[CaliforniaGirl7]

I don't see how that would help. According to my understanding this unfortunate girl was found out after she already received a bid. This is why she was forced to depledge. If I post my story afterward, they could still find out who I am. Is this correct?
