i have a question

[agzg]

In my opinion, this is one of the reasons sororities in an online setting don't work. In traditional sororities, there's often no lingering proof of what went on behind closed doors, it's all she said/she said, whereas online it's allllll out there.

Message boards are relatively easy to hack, too. So... good luck keeping that stuff private. This is also why we tell newbies here at GC not to post too much identifying information, if they're a PNM, and don't encourage members to post about private chapter business. Teh intarwebs nevah fo'get.

I'll take train wrecks for 500, Alex.

OP, you and your "sorority" are one big stinking hot mess.

Is the motto of this sorority/Ashworth College "Eradicating the Godless Apostrophe"?

Really? You're shocked that people noticed you all over the internet?

How the hell are you going to find a job? Most employers will Google prospective employees and if this is what they see, you're screwed.

This thread is totally going in the trainwreck thread.

She is in her 30s and has a real job (hence my horror at the spelling, grammar and punctuation). That one Google search brings up a whole slew of forum posts that share too much information. I actually feel bad that someone in their late 30s didn't think to CHECK that the forum she thought was private, was actually private.

Snarkiness aside, I still don't get how a sorority can exist online. Few (3 or 4) people attend your meetings (apparently don't follow Robert's rules bc how can you have quorum?), your social events are held on Facebook Game applications, and membership is dependent on the frequency of forum posts. I don't understand how you can develop or maintain a "sisterhood" of 35 people when you probably have never all been in a room together? What are the criteria for "member intake"? Sure, having a place to go online is great and fun, and far be it for me to try to deprive someone from doing what they want, but why does it have to be a Greek-letter sorority? If you want to be part of a social group IRL, there are many places, even an adult community sorority. I'd love to know HOW this all operates.

I wonder if they have a Facebook application for their rituals? They'd save a lot of money on battery operated candles by using the glow of a monitor instead.

It's pretty apparent that it does not operate well.


OP, if you really want your sorority to be respected, you need to respect your sorority and your sisters. Don't out the founder for "being lazy". Without her, you wouldn't have your sorority at all. If you want people to take you seriously, use proper grammar and check your spelling.
