UIUC Rush Story

[UGAalum94]

Maybe I just cut the other poster too much slack and couldn't take the heat from AlphaFrog about the secondary legacy issue in the thread.

I didn't remember the other poster being critical of some of the chapters, but honestly, it might have been because I couldn't follow the thread that well, and I guess you knew the chapters involved so you could, maybe?

I find this thread a weird place for the kindness to the OP debate to flare up.

I don't want the OP to be treated poorly, honestly, but I'm not sure her opinions about chapters are worth this appeal for deference and support. I think we all ought to be nice, but there's been on going sass and snark from the OP. I think she can handle mixing it up and kind of likes it. I didn't get that vibe from the learning disabled poster of the other thread.

In the other thread the OP went and edited her posts. She removed her reference to the fat sorority and other such remarks.

And just to calrify, I went to UIUC (this thread) not Oregon State (other thread) so that had nothing to do with my reaction to that poster's remarks.

Anyway, this was a total hijack. Sorry.

No, it's much better to use this forum to go around revealing Membership Selection secrets. You're right, I'm sorry.

I have already said this to her in a PM, but I know that I definitely was looking at the appearances of each chapter. It's just what we (as humans) do. That is not to say that my chapter was all of the best looking girls or that I cut other houses because of physical attributes/looks, but I remember walking into a house and looking around and thinking, "They are so cute!!!!!" And it is the same on the other side....It never failed that comments on score cards were "pretty" "cute" "adorable," not "smart," "witty," or "involved." (ok, sometimes they said that ) I think that especially at this point in her rush, looks and shallow convo's are all LMV has to go by. Let's cut her some slack!!!!!

Wasn't that the thread that didn't make an ounce of sense because the OP couldn't keep her animals straight?? Or was that another Retro that used animal names I'm thinking of?
