Seriously, peeps. No one REALLY cares about your stupid rush story.

Well that's why there is the Chit Chat portion of the board. Sometimes it's fun to get to know other things about your fellow GCers instead of just their GLO.

I really don't see what the problem is. If you don't like them, don't read them. The fake ones get called out. I read the good ones, I disregard the dumb ones.

I will admit there are certain aspects of some recruitment stories I don't like:

- "Does anyone want to hear my recruitment story?"
-"I thought no one was reading"
-"I am a longtime lurker or a longtime GCer using a different name" (20something, you get a pass on that one )
-Thinking that "brutally honest" means having a license to talk shit about chapters (not 20something's use of "brutally honest")
-People who constantly beg for updates
-Fake stories
-Dragging your story out unnecessarily
-Including too few details to make a story worth reading


It's unfair to lump the stories of 20something, LeslieAnne, irishpipes, susan314, curlygirly, and honeychile (to name a few) in with the "stupid rush stories". However, I don't think that this thread will stop any other REAL posters who are GOOD writers with an INTERESTING story from sharing. At least I hope not.
