That's why I don't share ritual anything with anyone anywhere (or even other non-ritual senesitive info) even privately unless they're someone I have verified via our directory (or I know them from working on things at the higher-up level so they have been verified by HQ).

Online search-able directories are win. Cuts down on perpage and helps me get ahold of people!

Dr.Phil, epchick, KSUViolet and Drolefile, thanks. I'm glad she did not reflect poorly on us. I will remember this day, always. Thanks, KSU...That made me laugh!

The issue is perps and also stolen identity. Someone can be totally legit when you check a directory or ask around but that doesn't mean it's the person who is really behind the username. When in doubt, people should contact the person in question and not just say "I saw your name on the directory..." when typing to a username.

True, i'm not suggesting typing out my ritual to someone via PM just because I can look them up in the directory but there are varying levels of trust.

I'll second the "I never thought the troll represented Phi Mu" line of thinking; I know too many great Phi Mus IRL to believe that anyone the likes of this is in any way, shape or form representative of the group! But I am happy she (he?) has been busted.

Thanks, SWTXBelle. I know a few really great Gamma Phis IRL, as well. They are very lovely women. I have friends in pretty much every NPC and a few in the NPHC. Every person I have come across, IRL has represented these groups wonderfully. That reminds me, I must get to the "Where have you seen your letters" thread.

Right.

It is really easy for someone who knows a legit Sigma to assume her identity online. Becky Random could totally jack the details of her real-life Sigma friend's life, come to GC under the name SuzySailboat and say that she is Suzie Jones from Beta Beta chapter and was initiated in 2000.

*sounds like a Lifetime movie*
