I just know what it's like to be 18 and feeling like you're being ganged up on for something you've said. Cyber-bullying is real and much of it is in the perception of the receiver. I'm just asking everyone to think before they say something that might be construed as bashing to a young adult. If that makes me a horrible person, please let me know. I think this site is a wonderful resource and just would like to see it a little more welcoming to noobs. That's all.

No. What makes you a horrible person is coming on to a website and telling everyone how they should feel and act. You actually started a thread to chastise people for not acting the way you deem appropriate.
You commented about if it was something from last year, move on. What great advice. If Patty PNM acts like a fool throughout recruitment and gives the impression that she is "better" than other organizations or she acts less lady-like than most...Chapters may have a very hard time just "moving on" and forgetting about it. So, you may think people are harping on the past but, guess what---some of the chapters may be.
Also, if Patty PNM is a sophmore at Bama (or another SEC school) and turned down one of the ONLY chances she could have had to go Greek....Next year, when she's a junior, it may be hard for chapters to "move on" past the fact that she is now a junior. So, maybe you shouldn't just hand out advice like that.
