Some folks on here are really snippy as a default, and I don't get it, but as I've learned from personal experience, it doesn't help to respond in kind.

I wasn't saying I didn't want their opinion. i know i asked for their opinon. on what to say to a girl in this situation. not on what i should put in an information booklet on the sorority. the fact that the rho chi should cover this or the office of greek life should have information regarding it does not matter. before this post, i had no idea what a rho chi was, and our "office of greek life" is a man called Al who run the field house.

i can't be snippy too. which is why i was.

That last part is kind of a zen riddle.

Really I think threads just take on a life of their own sometimes and your thread may have been more about what should be said to PNMs. If you are looking for a really specific answer, I'm afraid you have to make it clear. It seemed from what you said during the thread you were looking to speak officially for the group.

ETA: look back at your first post, and I think you'll see why people got the idea that it was about the booklet.

So you were instrumental in her not getting in? It was personal?

Or are you just her friend who encouraged her to join (and then she didn't get in)?

Why else care?
