I've read through the rest of the site, and I can't decide who is crazier; The students for obsessing over every minute detail of their HS transcripts, or the parents for obsessing over every single college ranking in US News and World Report. After reading some of the forums on the website I wanted to grab some of the children and shake them while saying "Calm Down! It's not that damn serious! Breathe!", and after I read through the parents' forums, seriously wanted to slap some of the parents for micromanaging the children's lives to such a high degree. I never believed how lucky I was to have a mother that did not interfere with my college selection process, except to say when a school was too costly or too far away from my hometown.

If I was 18 now and knew my mom was posting on that site, I think I would probably do something like run off and join the circus.
PARENTS: YOUR COLLEGE YEARS ARE BEHIND YOU. YOU CANNOT RECREATE THEM THROUGH YOUR CHILDREN. IF YOU WERE STILL HUNG UP ON COLLEGE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BECOME A PARENT IN THE FIRST PLACE.

I'd vote for community college. That would be even more horrifying for them. *Gasp*

Those not in the know do not know!
Oh, by the way, if it wasn't for GDIs who join, there would be no Greeks! 
Those GDIs who do not know just do not know what they actually miss.

Although CC has several over-the-top posters, both students and parents, it is a great source of information when embarking on the college search. I just wish we had discovered it years ago.
As there are anti-Greeks on the site, there are also pro-GLO members as well. Some are also members of GC.
