Blacklisted

What exactly is blacklisting...how do I get off...and is there really such thing as a blacklist?

Like bringing another chapter here of ABC or DEF or XYZ. I apologize for that error.

Would it be smart to go through again the fall? I am staying a year behind so I'll still be a junior...but I also don't want to look desperate.

So first you failed to receive any invites back after the first day of recruitment and blamed a "horrible rumor." And it had nothing to do with your shitty GPA, junior status or sparkling personality. Now you're blaming the fact that you wanted to lead an expansion effort.

It's time to look inward. Sorority life isn't in the cards for you and it has nothing to do with horrible rumors, your desire for expansion, imagined "blacklisting" or any other external reasons.

Jesus, harsh much? Do you KNOW there is a shitty GPA involved? Whether or not I believe it, it is possible to be dropped due to rumors.

OP, it is doubtful to everyone here as you can see that there is any sort of actual list. If this bit of conversation was repeated to you correctly, it probably means that you have somehow pissed off sororities on campus and the people discussing the situation think you won't get a bid. I'm sure you can still go through recruitment if you'd like but since there is obviously some sort of issue be aware of that.

Are you really that special that you can't figure out how to look at a person's other posts?

I go to a small school in the North where(in the fall) you can attend as many or as little events as you want for all four sororities or just one. I see how recommendations are important for big competitive schools but I am not sure for a small school. For the one I am looking at, on their school site they have a spot for New Member Recommendations, but I don't know anyone who was a sister of that sorority. Where could I go to ask for one? Could I go to that organization's page on GC and ask....I'm not sure how to go about it.

Thank you!

THANKS

Twice this girl has come here to blame sororities for her inability to get a bid. First it was a "terrible rumor" and now she's "black listed." I am sick of people coming here and telling tales that perpetuate stereotypes like this. It's clear that this poster is that girl. Every campus has at least one of them. She needs to stop blaming others and coming to a public board to moan about it.

I am very special. My mommy tells me that every day. She also reminds me not to be rude.

There. Fixed it for you. Now you mommy can be proud.

Let me put it this way...worrying about PNMs saying silly things about Greek life is moot when the standard is to be bitchy to them, even if it's on the internet. IMO, that reflects badly on sorority women.

But feel free to continue to be snide to me, I'm not a PNM.

*clutches at pearls* Oh no. Not that! Not.. BAD REFLECTIONS!

Seriously, you jumped on BR for being an OMGMEANIE and she pwned you when it turned out she knew what she was talking about. So stop retreating behind the "bad example" standard and take your lumps.

Or go have a pity party with carnation about what things are coming to these days and how we're destroying PNMs lives. Whichever one makes you more likely to stop your whinging*


*real word, before Titchou tries to grammar check me.
