identical twins, different universities, overlapping recruitments...

you are abolutely correct! however i just really do not care... let them do and say what they want. sadly, i probably stooped to their level... and i do not do that, i generally avoid that at all costs. but what i said about them is true.

i admit that i was initially shocked... who on earth would try to make up a recruitment thread? i just told about our lives. but one has to remember... that what i have written is our lives and who we are and how we were raised. i cannot change the fact i was a twin, i had nothing to do with that. i cannot nor would i ever have changed my parents... i was blessed, but i had nothing to do with that. and we are all products of our environment. yes, i totally agree and have never hidden the fact that we had a great deal of privilege... but with privilege comes responsibilities. i am certainly not ignorant... and i contemplated that post for quite some time. i am not really trying to pick a fight... or be antagonistic, that is really not me. but... when they accused me of lying and were laughing about it and making all kinds of inappropriate comments... i finally decided enough was enough. i have received countless wonderful pms... the real ladies on gc know them and know what they are like. with the good comes the bad... that is life. i really do not seek strife in my life... i deal with it enough professionally. but i decided to finally stand up for myself. i also knew i that i wanted to say something that i have noticed and thought about for a long time. it is true... and most everyone who is still left of gc know it. what happens, happens. they know the "ignore feautre"... they certainly lecture new people about it enough. like i said... i knew exactly what i was doing. but i am not a "mean girl"... just honest.

i honestly do not know anything about these "fictional twins"... i think my generation missed that. however, i personally cannot think of anything worse to read. i am sorry... but that does interest me in the slightest... especially if it is "supposed" to be something like our real lives. our lives are not a fictional story book... i have no interest in anything like that. however... i do thank you and appreciate your kind suggestion, but that just isn't who i am.

cheers!

There have dozens of perps here on GC that have faked recruitment threads or faked being a member for a long time before being ousted.

Oh, I can't imagine any adult person actually enjoying them or getting anything out of the books, but you would see the similarities in your personal recruitment story and the series and perhaps understand why what may to you seem simply the retelling of your own experience struck others as fictional.

It's happened more than once.You would be surprised at what ridiculous lengths people go to to gain the attention of perfect strangers on the internet. Those of us who have been around on this site for awhile have seen it all. Thats why people wonder.

I have to admit I also wondered JITY.

Hey folks...if you want to PM each other and analyze this story, go right ahead. But posting suspicions, unflattering personal commentary and defense statements, etc. in the thread is neither necessary nor germane. Either believe what she is telling you...or don't. If you are spending more time defending your posts than making them, then I think it may be time to take a break.

I think their mother (or some other lady in the family) is a legacy to either keystone or aspen. I'm thinking aspen, but I'm not sure...... Deer Valley is out because they cut her since she wasn't a legacy.....

Yeah, aspen, some woman in the family is an aspen.

Anxiously awaiting more!

Wait, I'm confused - is the "thing" that her sister got her bid first and joined Aspen or have we not discovered the "thing" yet? I'm still betting her family is well known on the campus - like her dad's the president of the university or something. That would explain why everyone would know her business!

ok, let me see if i have this right: "recruitment" is guessing that Sydney accepted a bid from Aspen. if this is true, and if the girls of Deer Valley know this, they will assume that their school's Aspen chapter will want to extend a bid. So... they tell "recruitment" that there is no way possible they can extend her a bid b/c they're way over quota, etc. and because of her situation - that she's an Aspen legacy, so DV rather not waste a bid on "recruitment" knowing if she got one from Aspen she would more likely accept it?

i'm guessing that enough people at each of the twins' respective universities are watching their every move, jus waiting to see who they accept a bid from, most likely their mother's (and possibly the twin's new) GLO.

ORRRRRRRRRRR maybe DV is the mother's GLO, the twin accepted Aspen against her wishes/desires and DV doesnt wanna cause any problems by giving "recruitment" a bid that she would take...?

hmm. but im trying to figure out how the hayle Vail fits in... it seems like "recruitment" is settling on that house, like it's her comfort house, her last resort. and it's only day two... it's written like its already bid day!


so yes, more details, and if im way off base with anything, can someone explain for me? danke!

Sadly, no, this is not me. I wouldn't Mary Sue my twins lol.

I'm happy I got an acronym though!

Yay for someone else who thought Mary Sue

Indeed.

I haven't figured out what the "thing" is. I'm actually more shocked about the blatent rush infraction that they did to her. It boggles my mind that she was treated that way.

[khlkcca]

I'm with you who would break a PMN's heart, especially when she still has parties to go to afterwards. If you wanted to explain the situation to your friend you could do it after recruitment.

[AlphaFrog]

I'm guessing not only is her mom and Aspen, but either she is or was a higher-up Aspen (National Pres, VP or the like) OR there's a bunch of people in her family that were also Aspens (besides her sister).

[tinydancer16]

I'm with you AlphaFrog. Am I the only one who thinks she might shock her whole family and end up at Taos?

Makes sense. Amazing how being a legacy can help and hurt your during recruitment.
