CherrySonata Fall Recruitment 2010

I think any Greek chapter calling itself a "flagship" is stupid. Unless there's one good chapter in the national org and 100 shitty ones, the holder of the top honors is going to change every year or two. If you mean you won the InsertYourGroup'sTopAwardHere, then just say that, and explain to rushees what it means. If you're the first chapter, say you're the first chapter.

And if you're calling yourself that just because you happen to be the largest chapter, or at the most prestigious school, you are probably a fleet of douchecanoes. Kind of shoots the "being in a national group is awesome cause we all feel the love" concept to hell when you say you're better than all the rest of them.

I don't think any chapter SHOULD call themselves the flagship. That's an honor that should be conveyed by the Executive Officer or other barometor of What Should Be Done.

A HQ could say, "When it comes to fundraising, our PQ chapter is our flagship operation," or "RS is our flagship chapter for Recruitment," etc. I would be completely disgusted with one chapter saying it about themselves - that goes against everything we're to believe in.

I can tell you Douchcanoe is now part of my every day lexicon. I await with anticipation the first time I hear someone other than my husband or me use it.

It is not mine to give. Here is the initial post using it.

If girls (I assume you mean sorority members) are asking you how many parties you have, they are probably douchecanoes. That's kind of like if they were asking you how much your dad makes/how many Lilys you have/what kind of car you drive. None of their business and straight up rude.
