A unique and kind of sad recruit story

[ThetaDancer]

What SydneyK and AnotherKD said. With a total emphasis on the "nothing wrong, just unusual" part.

Plus, particularly in the last few posts, you posted about what I would consider to be pretty personal experiences (anxiety attacks, terminal illness and death of a family member, becoming diagnosed with a chronic illness, deteriorating mental and physical health, etc.) In my experience, both online and in real life, I think I just share that kind of information when I feel comfortable with people. As with a lot of GCers, I've certainly posted on greekchat about difficult personal experiences, but my posts didn't start out that way. Both online and in real life, I understand revealing more personal information as relationships progress, but it's hard for me to imagine doing that right off the bat.

And, I guess you posted some things that I might consider to be "chapter business," like the girl who was kicked out of pledging or the girl who led your pledge class down the bad path. I think things like that should probably stay within the chapter. I could sort of understand the need to seek advice on those situations if they were currently happening, but because they happened a while ago it just seems like an unnecessary airing of dirty laundry.

Finally (sorry if this is coming across as a long rant! it's not my intention!) the overall tone that I heard in your story sounded like you had some regrets about how things unfolded and it just made me wonder what was prompting those regrets to appear now, years after the fact, and in a public way.
