SKEPi? <- What's that??? And I've already started a previous post asking for help with my website. It's a brand new sorority, a brand new website. I'M NEW AT THIS! It's really getting to me, all of the mean comments .... I've been working SO hard on this sorority and I feel like I'm getting beat down every time I come on this forum. The comments don't have to be so demeaning. I've never been in a sorority, I don't know any girl friends who have. Me and the girls are doing this from scratch, with little information. Those on here who have helped, thank you. But those who keep nit picking, are seriously starting to get under my skin. I don't want to be on bad terms with anyone on here. I'm doing my best. If you have ADVICE go ahead, I would love that, pos or neg. But insulting me, and starting arguments on my posts. It makes me feel insulted and sad.

You're going to need a thicker skin, dear. If you can't put up with the criticism on a message board, then how are you going to deal with people who may put you down on campus? Potential members can smell weak leadership from a mile away.

You say that you've been working so hard with this sorority, but have you really? Try and read the 'Rush at UCSC' thread. Based on the typos and grammatical errors on your website, it really just seems like you slapped some colors and slogans together and did a shoddy job with the crest (see my heraldry comment in your other thread).

Face it, you came here promoting your sorority while bad mouthing the other sorority on campus. Who wants to join a sorority with a founder who does that?

So don't blame us for making you feel insulted and sad. You choose to feel that way.

If you want sunshine blown up the ass...there's another site for that.

And yes, 33, I do smell SKEPi as well. It's cristinasmile version 3.0.

Never having been in a sorority has nothing to do with using proper grammar and spelling. You're not sending a text message, you're creating what is the first impression anyone will have of your sorority. Take some care with it, and if you're not sure if something is correct, SPELL CHECK AND GRAMMAR CHECK. Do that even if you ARE sure everything is correct.

Sorry, but between you and the guy who goes to "skool" I've come to the conclusion that we should get rid of the written word altogether and go back to pictures if today's students can't use it properly.

The same should apply to PMs as well, IMO.

Hey OTW, What is your problem with me? And YES I hvae been working really hard. I do appreciate the great advice that you have given me. But unfortunatly you've rubbed off as a stuck up b*tch to me. And I KNOW that's probably not the truth because computers and writeing on threads can mix up sarcasim with hatred. Anyhow, I don't hate you. But your not make my sorority experience any nicer. If we ever meet in person I really hope it's not as negative as what has been shown to me on this forum. As for my grammer... yes ... it sucks! It suck monkey balls to be exact lmao! But this is a "forum". I would prefer to base my likeing or disslike of a person on their personallity, not their grammer skills. Take care, and please don't take it personally.
