Why are you quoting me and citing the use of profanity?

Senusret =|= weak mind nor poor vocabulary.

Here's Titchou's post:

Since you didn't say anything about your GPA (must be well over a 3.0) nor that you have 2 recs for every house and since your grammar would lead one to believe that your grades are not at the appropriate level ("wanna" used repeatedly), I am assuming that you don't meet the basic requirements anyway....no matter the color of your skin. You've already outed yourself here if anyone wants to figure it out once recruitment begins.

In other words, the bitch had it coming. Her post to the OP was unnecessarily rude and judgmental; frankly, it smacked of fear that "the Blacks" might somehow sully the sororities at Alabama by daring to join. It was also vaguely threatening; she told the OP that she had already outed herself. Is that in any way a reasonable response?

I can do that, too.

Just so it can't be said that I skulked off in the night, I strongly disagree with this. First of all, I was not judgmental and rude. OP's original post was rather "loose" in language and information - loose enough to wonder if she had the required GPA and recs. Since sororities troll GreekChat to check out PNMs, any post one places here should be carefully considered. You can be outed in a few clicks of a mouse. Many people have been! If you don't want to be "outed", don't post it here. Many people here have figured out who I am. That's fine. And it needs to be fine with PNMs who post here also as it's going to happen to them.

Second, having a "black" in a sorority would not "sully" them in my opinion. I advise now on a campus that has had many - and in my group as well - and they've all been welcomed with open arms. You won't find anyone there saying otherwise. And we're just down the road from Tuscaloosa. Besides, if you knew me, you would know where I personally stand on this issue and the racist side is definitely not it!

Yes, you were. And you made huge assumptions.

Not at all.

You have a very valid point about the OP being easily identifiable, and there is good advice to be given about that. But the advice was lost in unnecessary (and judgmental and rude) assumptions on your part.

okay, let's all give it a rest for awhile!

I quoted you because of your pointing out the lesser of the grammar infractions. I liked what you wrote, so I quoted it.
