If they want to post about something they're super excited about, more power to them. If they hurt their own chances in the process, that's on them. If they take only advice from anonymous internet posters instead of also asking their recruitment counselors or Greek life office, that's on them.

I'm well aware that you do not share my opinion.
The stories are pointless, and never in the best interest of those involved. Only sometimes can they turn out to be neutral, they never truly help, and they frequently hurt.
But you're right, some GCers would just, like, totally, die without any update from specialsnowlfake28940. So feel free to say what they do add to the forum, or how they help the writers do anything. Or why they couldn't be replaced with an intro post saying "Hey I'm a new member of XYZ, I just went through recruitment and enjoyed this, that, and the other. One of the chapters had a hilarious skit, but even so XYZ had my heart from pref night on." Done.
No, instead we can hear the deep, innermost thoughts of the PNM as she decides what shoes to wear and tries to figure out which GCer actually knows wtf they're talking about when they tell her what to wear or how gauche her favorite dress looks.
