Let's just say I made a couple of mistakes when I first posted on GC.

You too?

this pretty much sums it up. when I first got on GC, my goal was to only post which I feel is important to me and not caused any form of drama. so far, it worked.

@Sigtau..possibly.... all that Jay-Z riding you do....LOL

I had no real expectations at all. The atmosphere on here is great.. I even met a hometown (sort of) soror on here(smile BTB87)... and have had great off the board convos with a few Alpha brothers on here..

I thought more frat Brothers would be on the avenue and I would know some and meet others as I travel. I thought we would all be supportive of the brotherhood and run things as we normally do.

I thought the AKA would have our back and they do for the most part. I thought they would be more meek and not as strong as they are on GC.

Well, I can tell you that I've had the pleasure of meeting quite a few of my GC sorors, and I'm glad that we're a strong group here.

I would have expected that AKA2D'91 would have tried to assault you for this statement by now.

Having gone to an HBCU and then, upon graduation, having been thrust into an almost completely white work environment, I was looking for a place where I could interact with intelligent black people. I had previously learned that Blackplanet was not that place.

I wandered on to this site in 2000 thinking that the BGLO boards would have intelligent black folks on them talking about interesting things.

I was looking for different perspectives. For the most part that is exactly what I have found.

I was used to using simplygreek when I had first crossed. It was cool, but after a while, I wasn't feeling the quality of the discourse after a while and didn't post as much. On GC, it feels like we're all in the same room, but we just can't see each other. There are also enough topics and threads for whatever I'm in the mood for. I've probably made mistakes and probably will make a bunch more. It's what I do. But I look forward to putting my .06 cents in whenever I remember to sign in. I'm out like Tom DeLay.

i think at first i joined due to my interest in pursuing a particular sorority. for the past 3 or so years, i really come here to exchange ideas and i really learn alot about what my viewpoints are on certain issues. it seems like alot of folks here are leaders in their respective communities and are also 'seasoned' in their organizational affililation.

this is a nice change of pace from some of the other greek-oriented sites.

I had to think about this a little bit myself, and I've been a member for about 5 years now.

I really didn't have many expectations because I just came here to be able to chat up people. I did have a little bit of a reservation because of the sorority I'm in, and I didn't get received well at other sites. But when I came onto GC I was welcomed and that was a nice change. I got a lot of questions at first, but they were addressed to me in a mature way, something I didn't get at other places.

I love coming here because I have been able to participate in some great discussion. I've had an opportunity to learn about all sorts of different greeks as well as educate people on my own organization. I'm also a "sisterfriend" too, so I've gotten a lot of advice about pursuing my sorority of interest. I've even met a few of my Masonic brothers and SiSTARS here too. It's a great place to me...we have our "special people" that come by but all in all, it's been a very positive experience for me.

When you first posted on Greekchat, how did you expect people to reply to you? Were your expectations met? Generally, are the people what you expected them to be? Why/Why not?

Well, I am probably one of the rare ladies that read the POW before posting on the AKA Greekchat board. So I knew not to ask questions about MIP or anything like that. I am also 29 y/o and mature so I knew better. LOL!

I am used to message boards so I know how to communicate online and I just expected everyone to reply as they always do on these type of boards. I didn't really have an particular expectations from anyone.

Every message board has their own culture so people are different on every board and not every board operates by "group think." So I expected some people to either like what I have to say or don't like what I have to say and ignore me. LOL!!
