Biggest Rush Mistakes at any institution

But, you've already admitted that you weren't affiliated last year and refused to affiliate with the chapter on your campus.

WHAT??? He's not affiliated with his own brothers??? But I thought he must be BMOC and president of his chapter the way he posts?? He was only an active for a short while?

And EW - not touchy. It's not about me (since I've known a total of two Gamma Phi AIs in all my work with my sorority) it's about the stupidity of posting a comment such as yours.

Back on topic - I'll admit that I must say surely EW is indeed the expert, nay, the poster boy, of rush mistakes.

... I'm glad you've been following everything year by year, while knowing everything I'm doing at any given point. Sort of creepy, I would think. It's certainly none of you business what has been occurring in my private life, thanks!


Ad hominem attacks in which you know nothing about me nor whether or not I would be the "poster boy" for rush leaves you with zero credibility (not that I was actually going to listen to you in the first place, because that's just plain ridiculous) but the fact that you attempt to know anything about me other than what's posted is plain silly. Like, totally, it's so like, easy to tell someones personality and their personal life by their, like posts. Right? What sort of character am I playing? What sort of role...life is a stage, we are but actors.

Actually, you can tell a lot about a person by their writing. Whether it is on-line, or in a college paper, you reveal yourself more than you know. It is true we have nothing to judge you on but your posts - but why would you argue that you are being attacked if you are called to account? Are you an active? Or an alum? With what chapter(s). It's a valid question, especially since you are so free and easy with your expertise? You are the one who set yourself up as an expert, going so far as to criticize others who have offered advice you disagree with. Sorry my use of irony went straight over your head. Some of us are having a chuckle at your expense right now.
Some of us are not playing roles - we will tell you our affiliation and our status. I am always suspect of those who won't - they must have something to hide. There are GCers I know irl, and those plus a few others are the only ones I worry about as far as their opinion. Again, you can tell a lot about a person by their posts, and I'm comfortable with the tone and content of mine.

OH NOES - I have no credibility with Elephant Walk! Someone, hold me as I sob.

Oh, and if you are going to quote Shakespeare, do it right.

eta - Okay, I don't want this to turn into a personal thread - so I'm bowing out, putting EW on ignore, and returning this thread to your regular programming.
