Silly heifer who had alcohol at rush parties amd multiple locals at a supercompetitive school rushing with the NPC groups being the first one I can think of.

EXACTLY.

I mean, this is GREEKCHAT. PNMs come here and ask for legit advice about recruitment.

I would hate for them to read some totally FAKE story and think that this is how Greek Life really is.

The thing that REALLY annoys me is the fact that PEOPLE STILL WANTED TO HEAR IT AFTER WE FOUND OUT IT WAS FAKE.

SERIOUSLY?

Are you THAT desperate to hear a rush story?

If people started doing NPHC research threads, those threads would likely get closed immejjjjjjiately. LOL.

We don't need to hear about your journey to and through the NPHC. Retro or current.

Now watch some fools try to start that thread trend.

Yeah, that was amazing. Even more amazing was the grief that those who called out the fakers received. Come on people- there is real life to be led. A fake recruitment story should never be the highlight of your day.

But some of them, and I'm thinking of the original pink sequined stockings thread, really were that entertaining purely as fiction.

Maybe moderators could invent a
"this story is completely unverified and likely contains falsehoods" label they could put on threads suspected of being fiction.

ETA: have you read the Sweet Valley High Twins: Rush thread? I really don't know the name of it, but it was awesomely entertaining, to me at least, but I've read Pledged too, come to think of it. Maybe I do enjoy reading fake rush stuff more than the average person.

Boy do y'all take your rush threads seriously. If some PNM really forms her world view based on reading fake rush stories on GC, she's going to have more problems than the ones we've helped create.

Oh noes. Teh falsehoods.

/back to my popcorn.

This should be the the label.

ETA: I think we're only having this talk because no one talks about AI anymore.

"Wanna hear my rush story?" > The sounds of tiny violins against your bitching and moaning. you definitely are that bitch.

And I want you to come at me with something better than GC Kitchen. Its up there with "I know you are but what am I."

Considering her classless, boorish, insensitive manner and how she responded to Anchoralumna, you are my hero.

Let me reiterate......

Seriously, no one cares that you don't care about retro rush threads.

Kevin, don't get all uppity. This is no different than you shutting down rumor threads in the RM forum.

UGAalum94: the problem is, people get called out for being fake. They deny deny deny. The GCers in the kitchen with Dinah get pissed because they need their rush story fix and say DON'T SCARE HER OFF!! WE BELIEVE YOU, PNMSLUTT205! PLEEEEAASE COME BACK!

Like I said, if you're that desperate, go to the oldest pages of the recruitment stories forum.

Is there really a reason to get so butthurt about a poster's opinion (which several are in agreement with)?

Wow. The responses to this should be funny.

ETA: PNMSLUTT205 LOL!

DrPhil · #**100** 07-01-2009, 11:04 PM

I think it is the kitchen statement that got them up in arms. She was not only saying those threads suck but she seemed to be labeling some of the GCers who tend to like them. LOL.

No. It's not that serious.

Just like someone who attempted to rip me a new one because a poster asked "Who wants to hear my story?" and I said "No."

So she deleted her posts.

And everybody was all "OMG how could you DOO THAT!! You scared her AWAY!"

I'm sorry. She asked. I was just being honest, lol.

But sometimes what you want to hear is how the heck the poster is going to pull that junk together. I don't think the Kitchen GCers want the recruitment fix as much as they want to see if the literary feat gets pulled off or not.

It's the more outlandish ones that I hate to see end in the middle because it would be some amazing if it could be concluded.

For example: after having martinis at XYZ, and being verbally assaulted in the bathroom at TUV, we had to fill out our pref list. I really didn't know if my multiple personality disorder best friend from high school was going to get a bid, and I was tempted to put QRS number one just so we could be sisters. But when I went to my rush group I realized that MPDBF got invites back to ABC, the best sorority on campus.

Typical GC user: I think you're lying.

(Of course she's lying. That's not the point.)

Rush thread poster: well if that's how you feel, I'm not telling the rest.

Could she have generated a conclusion that united all the elements of the plot? Now we'll never know. We've read that crap for nothing.

For the record, I didn't try to rip you a new one if you were thinking of me. It just seemed out of character for you.

ETA: Nevermind, I re-read the thread. I don't think you meant me.

Not butthurt....the butt is good. Thanks for asking. I just think that there is a way to post an opinion without getting personal.

And I agree with you completely. But that's not how Tippiechick rolls. You can enjoy it, or you can fight it, or you can quietly register a protest in the thread. (I've done all three at various points.)

But she's going to keep on keeping on because apparently it is the Tippiechick and GreekChat way.
