[quote=blackngoldengrl;1492159]Why is it the men on here feel the need to comment on sorority or women's fraternity affairs? [quote]


I guess because the title of the site is "GreekChat", and I'm greek. Perhaps they should change it to keep-your-opinion-to-yourself.com instead. (I checked, and it is available. $8.95/year).

Kidding of course. I probably wouldn't even have anything to say in most threads asking about GLO's on most campuses as I only have insight into a few, but not having the ability to speak up if I wanted is what bugs me I guess.

I still maintain that for questions like these, perhaps the male opinion is not warranted. The OP (you still around FJ?) asked about sororities at her school. OTW gave an answer that we don't really talk about reputations or tiers or whatever on GC. That's something that many of the sororities just don't do here, and is not very "Panhellenic." I just wish that those of you who aren't in sororities would respect that, and not comment further on it. Whether you like it or not.
Similarly, if a guy here is asking about fraternities (in reference to which is "better") I wouldn't comment, since I have no idea about the fraternities AND my opinion doesn't mean a thing. (not sure if you guys feel it is also...um...non-interfraternal?)

I think most guys on GC don't tend to comment that much on that sort of thing, and I for one appreciate it. That being said, I'm not one to trample on anyone's right to say what they want.

ETA: banditone-read your most recent post. I would say it's nice, but again in talking to a PNM...keep that one to yourself. I do support telling another Tri Delta member that her chapter there was impressive. It's nice to hear good things about your sisters from across the country. That being said, we do have threads on here "which glo would you be in if you were the other gender or another council?" where i've seen plenty of comments like yours. *shrugs shoulders*
