Apparantly speaking the truth is once again NOT allowed in RUSH threads...

NPC's and NPHC's forms of membership selection are radically different even at the collegiate level. Ergo, you can't really compare them in any way.

I know. That's why, when I saw that Tippie said "all GLOs," I was taken aback. I wanted to see if she acknowledges there's difference in how it's done. I like Tippie's opinions, they make for fun threads.

She didn't say "all GLOs" - she said "GLOs."

If you're going to pick nits . . . I mean . . .

Thank you. The difference was so big, I don't see how I missed it.

I would have answered, but I was too busy shopping for Ex-Lax.

I am glad you agree with me.

I PMed you.

I also want to remind everyone of the following, especially the passages in bold. If you want to discuss further, take it to PM.

Recruitment Forum TOS

People come to this forum for advice, in the hopes that someone may have a modicum of experience with their current situation. Even if they do a search, they may not find the answers they seek. Just because it is the 1000th time you've seen a post about rushing as a junior, or what about XYZ campus, it is the poster's first time and they shouldn't be berated for their questions.

Everyone on Greekchat should be an ambassador for Greekchat. Unless someone's first post is rude or spam-ridden, everyone deserves to be welcomed warmly and to be given respect.

• Do not bring arguments from locked or edited threads into other, open threads. Especially when it pulls away from a valid discussion.
• Do NOT cut & paste PMs into threads.
• Do NOT threaten others. After all, this is the internet, what are you going to do, really?
• The shock value of vulgar language wears off after its continued use. If you can't get your point across without the use of multiple 4-letter words, maybe you shouldn't be posting in this forum.
• If you can't be honest and forthright without being insulting, maybe you shouldn't be posting in this forum.
• Remember your Creed, Symphony, Mission, Goal Statement, etc. Before you post, ask yourself "Am I living up to the expectations of my sisters, my fraternity, myself? Can I do better? Should I do better? Am I setting a positive example on behalf of my organization?"
• Personal attacks, flames, vulgarity, C&P of PMs, general unsubstantiated rudeness, etc. will not be tolerated in the Recruitment forum and all sub-forums.

My goal and Carnation's is to make these forums a place for open, honest and positive discussion of GLO recruitment. Even negative answers can be phrased in a polite way.

We no longer have the time to PM everyone whose threads are either deleted or edited for content. Please be assured that if we delete or edit a posting, it is because we have received one or more 'reported' post messages, PMs or direct emails and have found the complaint to be valid and in keeping with our goals for making these two forums a welcoming environment.

What about specific substantiated rudeness?

Just curious.

Wow, I think that violates the TOS as rudeness...

I would have given you more of a response, but I am far too busy to care about how the good people of Greekchat worry about me.

Your sarcasm is other people's rudeness... See how easy it is to have snarkiness misconstrued?

That's pretty hypocritical. You want to dictate to people what they can and cannot post and then you go and be snarky and rude and everything you tell people not to be.

[texas*princess]

I agree kddani.

I think this goes back to the whole 'modding across the boards" thing... because apparently it's only inappropriate to be sarcastic in the Recruitment Forum, but everywhere else, it's OK.

It doesn't reflect on any sorority that initiates an AI if that sorority was not aware of the fact the person they initiated shopped around until someone said yes. It reflects on the member as an individual. If that sorority was aware of the shopping and okay with it, then it reflects on them. Some people may think it reflects poorly, some may not.

But only those that hold the "may not" opinion are allowed to express their views in the Rush forums.

Remember this post from Jen (formerly known as Ariesrising?)

ariesrising  Registered User Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: Area code 99 Posts: 1,924 I think going through AI is 10 times harder than recruitment. I agree with adduncan, there are a lot of different views of AI's among alumnae groups and individual members, and I'm sure some people think it's tacky for a PNAM to want to meet more than one group. Personally I think it's best if a PNAM does meet more than one group...I think you get a better sense of your connection to a group when you have something to compare it against. But for those of you that are just SOOO curious about what groups are in my area, I'll post it in my thread lol. It's easy enough to find out with a little research, so I don't think telling that is such a big deal.
