And they all lived happily ever after in matching next-door mansions, married twin football players and gave birth to identical twin daughters of their own.

Oh and they always give to the Foundation.

HAHAHAHA!

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe it's because I'm a twin, I dunno.

But, twins do aspire to date/fall in love with/marry another set of twins.

Me and my sister used to talk about it all the time.

And, she's an Alpha Gam. How funny.

No, for real.... late at night, she cries into a Georgia Bulldawgs pillow because of the injustice of it all... truly! Won't someone please think of the poor pillow?

I'm kidding that I'm really upset about it, but I'll admit I enjoyed reading that thread and was interested in how she was going to bring all THAT to some sort of end.

It was sort of like a really horrible soap opera which was spectacular and riveting in its excessiveness.

And Carnation turned it off fifteen minutes before the end of the series finale.

And hey, ADPiUCF, don't you worry, Bulldog tissues are available for my recruitment thread related crying needs.

Actually, I don't really have them (or a Bulldog pillow which was an excellent image, nice work on that), but I'm sure UGA tissues exist and that they are probably top sellers. It frightens me sometimes to think of the fan that really buys all that stuff and puts it in one red and black room used almost exclusively for watching UGA athletic competitions. Those fans are out there and there are hundreds of thousands of them apparently.

I never understood the whole sorority tissues thing. I love my letters - but to blow my nose with? Nope - I'll pass

I'm lapsing into crudeness here, but I find the issue of what toilet paper to put in a college football mascot shaped toilet paper perplexing in a similar way: your team or your rivals?

And yes, there are college football related toilet paper dispensers and I think I've seen college toilet papers. These are designed for the powder room off the red and black room.

I really don't think she was going to finish it!

How could she really? There was no way to wrap that all up.

You almost certainly made the right call because it was going to degenerate pretty quickly even further, and once you've started speculating about transsexuals and legacy status, where else is there to go?

I will always remain a little curious about where she intended to go with it had we not given her the huff and flounce option.
(or in her case, the pretend huff and flounce. I thought the threatening was a nice touch of crazy CGer realism in an otherwise over-the-top thread.)

I was reading that teaser thread as well, but I don't remember carnation having anything to do with recruitment not finishing her story.

I have to agree, though I was really wanting to read the end of it. I don't disagree with carnation's decision because it was getting out of hand. I almost wish she would make a short thread just to tell the end of her and her sister's recruitment.

Only that she locked the thread, I thought.
In my almost a year reading GreekChat, I've noticed that most people, myself included, can't really stay away from a dramatic thread even when they say they will.
So I suspect that "Recruitment" would be back for more if the thread were still open. But who knows? Maybe she IS real person who really had an epiphany about women on GC not being worth telling her story too.
But I think she was either the sock-puppet of a regular user or a new (ish) poster who elected to make up a recruitment story for drama and attention.
Since it's bad GC manners to take a locked topic into another thread (which is kind of what I'm doing now, sorry), alas, I think we only got about 75% of the possible entertainment of the thread.

I have friends who are twins, and they did just that. Unfortunately, none of them wanted children. I thought they owed it to science to reproduce!

In their defense, it was the second marriage for all involved, so maybe it's just as well.

i too am somewhat saddened that we will never here the rest of her story, whether it was true or just make believe. however i will not miss her chewing everybody out in between posts for speculating. maybe the stress of her job is getting to her. not trying to be mean, but she did come unglued fairly quickly over a couple of silly comments that were probably meant to be funny.

Whether it was true or fake, I'm with you. Just tell us everyone's GLO (legacy ones and pledged ones) using the code names.

[adpiucf]

I don't get why people use code names in retro threads. You aren't going to screw up your chances because you already intiated by the time you posted your retro thread.

You can still be discreet--- just have a section of outtakes where you describe all of the weirdness and craziness in total-- without naming names.
