Why is it people pick the worst possible examples of threads when they start bitching about GC meanies?

Why didn't you just tell her what to stop doing and why without editorializing?

Editorializing always ends the same way on GC. LOL.

Because it makes her feel so much better about herself.

There are Rainbow Bright dolls and horses for sale in the toys stores right now. They are modernized and not as cool as the originals, but I still want one.

Because it is IMO unnecessary and makes "us" as Greeks look unwelcoming, so I comment on it. And I'm sure I will again. So in other words, because I want to.

I bow to you because you know me so much better than myself.

Oh no, I get that you enjoy making an ass out of yourself. I just think you'd pick a thread where the OP was actually getting piled on instead of one with almost all helpful responses. Even the sarcastic ones were helpful here.

You pretty much telegraph yourself here, so yeah we know you pretty well.

You don't even live up to your own standards of just providing advice without commentary, so I hardly expect the rest of us to make the effort on your behalf.

Who is we? I'm only talking about you.

I can get on my high horse at times. So do you. I just have no problem admitting it.

I really want people to understand what ivory tower means. It isn't just feeling as though you are better than and can judge others. It is being so far removed that you don't know what's happening "beneath you."

I did a LOT of research before I rushed too, and got really attached to one of the sororities on my campus. The thing is, how you judge chapters online (how good their website looks, how many members there are nationally, how much you like their colors, ect.) are not a good indication of whether or not that sorority is really right for you. You should let go of those prejudices before rush, they might dilute your intuition on whether or not you really fit with the girls in those houses, I know it did for me.
