I agree that we can try to turn down the meanness and snark, but don't you think it was probably wise to point out some of the issues?

In general, is it really bad forum manner to re-post something that someone has deleted? It appeared that LMV's only concern was that no one re-post before Sunday, but maybe that's wishful thinking on my part.

I don't agree with the way the original opinions were posted, either, and initially some of the commentary from GC members was meant as helpful, but it started getting more of a 'bite' than was really necessary at some points. That said, I didn't read each and every posting, only checking in when I got requests to do so.

Come on, LMV, at least humor us with your initial description since you said my house was beautiful on the outside but smelled on the inside

A couple of people said they had screen shots saved. I don't know how that works, but they implied they could repost. OTW? Sarasmile?

Well if you got a bid congratulations. However, I don't think anyone who called you out for attitude did it out of age or sour grapes. It's more of a golden rule/ "if you don't have anything nice to say" thing.

("Even if you have no desire to join XYZ house, remember that sister has pledged her life to that sorority and it means a lot to her.)

Anyways, ike I said, congrats if you got a bid.

I didn't mean for anyone to know whose house was whose, in fact it was a girl from a less desirable house, imo, that pretty much figured it out and told everyone lol. I wouldn't have revealed who was who after being so blatantly honest. The golden rule is "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," and honestly, if someone wants to comment on my appearance and whether or not they think we'd make good friends on some random forums on the internet, go for it! I won't be offended, trust me. Some people were just being argumentative, which is fine with me, but I'll bet they fall into one of those categories. One of the main offenders for sure does :-p

Wow.

You must have gotten a great bid. Do you think the chapter would be proud of what you are posting here?

Did you or did you not actually post in practically alphabetical order? That's hardly the most complicated "code" to disguise who was who.

I think anyone with a passing familiarity with your campus probably could have cracked it.

Anyone else really starting to doubt that this is a real PNM? (or doubted all along, maybe?)

[UGAalum94]

Obviously what? That your chapter would be proud or that you aren't a real PNM or new member?

[littlemissvixen]

hello, you edited your post...

[UGAalum94]

Yeah, I did, but I can't remember what you would be responding to. What was obvious?

Have you been reading this thread?

And her post is what you pulled out as rude? So odd to me.

ETA: If that didn't make me lose faith in humanity, I think the fact that this thread has over 16,000 views does.

Wow.

Wow.

You should ask her what she thinks about red and buff roses and squirrels and pearls and see what happens.

[littlemissvixen]

i think you said something like "your chapter must be proud of you" rather than "Do you think the chapter would be proud of what you are posting here?"- to which i replied "obviously"...

anyway, i started posting at the beginning of recruitment. i don't think the way any sorority was initially described was particularly mean- and none of it was untrue. i didn't say anything bad about any of the sororities that i was willing to join. no matter who i am friends or sisters or whatever else with, i'm not changing who i am or what i say. some people like that, others can't take it. i've gotten lots of PM's from people who support me and like my honesty, and also people who have said that they'd like having someone like me as a sister :-*

oh, by the way, thank you for UGAalum for informing me of all the views this thread has- and, of course, thank you lovely viewers for making me a mini GC celeb!

*bow* ;-)

[littlemissvixen]

yeah, you never know UGAalum, we might be sisters! i'm not answering any more questions about angels and arrows or roses and pearls or anything else though! no process of elimination for any of you.

1. I did not, at any point, criticize your descriptions of the houses. I just pointed out that you posted them in alphabetical order.

2. You can say whatever you'd like about my chapter. You openly admitted that they dropped you, not the other way around.
