Favorite trainwreck

[ThetaPrincess24]

The entire thread did not become a trainwreck but part of it did a few years back.

It was in the Word Association Thread.

Someone typed: Michael Jackson
Next Person: Pervert
Next Person: put the name of a now banned GC'er who was very long overdue for their ban
Banned Person: posts angrily in his usual inane, drunken form

I'm sorry but each time I think about that I laugh. I remember telling my husband about it even when it happened and he even thought it was funny.

Oh (and that is w/o the dumb smile that the emoticon had) to them!! You keep doing you <3 Triad sisters.



Speaking on PMs, you know a trainwreck is about to happen when someone busts out the classic "thank you for all the PMs of support" or "i've gotten many supportive PMs from GCers."

Oh another one. The one by Maelynn1 asking how sororities could tell if somebody was already initiated somewhere.

[KSUViolet06]

I think it might have been in a GLO-specific forum (Pi Phi maybe?) but there was a mom who was crushed by her daughter not getting into that particular sorority. She went on and on about how great and smart and pretty she was. To make her point, she actually posted her daughter's PICTURE in the thread. I think the mods in that forum got to it before it could become too much of a trainwreck though.

*That one mom thread where mom said she was heartbroken and disappointed because her daughter got a bid, but did not get a bid to a top tier house and it embarrassed her.

Ohhh that was a good one!

Also eaglesbaby/blondie20/the other 30 that she's come back and started but hasn't finished because no one was giving her attention because we know its her.

OMG...That one... no words. I still am wishing that was fake.

[KSUViolet06]

The littlemissvixen recruitment thread from Illinois.

She was "brutally honest" and made sure to include details concerning each house such as "these girls were overweight and had fake pearl necklaces."

The thread quickly trainwrecked. lol.

Double posting, but I have the links to the ones I was just talking about lol:

Disappointed "top tier" mom.

I remember reading that one because I wanted to read an Illinois one! I'm pretty sure it was the year that I did FR. One poster from U of I revealed that she was listing them in alphabetical order from the recruitment book, because when she listed them she put "Codename - This is an engineering sorority, we didn't even visit it". It was only half of them though, because no one QFP'd the other half. You better believe I matched them all up to see what she had to say when I found that out! lol Verrrrry interesting.

ETA: Thanks for the link KSU. Yep, definitely the year I went through FR. And oddly enough, I did have a junior in my group........although I don't THINK it was her...

Add to the list, any thread that says ANYTHING negative about retro rush threads!

The rush thread addicts take them WAAAAY too seriously and the thread will probably trainwreck.

See this thread (posted during what was the FOURTH or so straight summer of retro threads).

Most people don't get that people have been doing them for awhile and their story is not that interesting.

That one's my favorite, but it was quite sad. "My daughter's really happy, but I'm embarrassed that she's not popular"

You know that you and I just sit here and shake our heads whenever a suspicious thread comes up.

I remember that one. I stepped away for a few minutes and came back to a TKO. Banned person always was good for a few laughs (and as a punching bag)

[Gusteau]

Ahhh - I forgot about the "kitchen GCers" lol

Link to one of the "omg why is everyone sooooooo mean to the PNMs?" threads that got locked:

Why are PNMs constantly demonized here?

YESSSSSS!! I mentioned this thread in chat like 10 minutes ago! How I <3'ed Tippie for creating this thread.

Any thread with the OP having a bad case of founderitis. Also the threads were somebody either asks for or tries to share ritual info.
