Never saw it before today, but I still think she could have told us what her chapter was. (I think I know who this was, what school she went to and what chapter she is in anyway. It's like playing Clue. I think it's Miss Scarlett in the Study with the
Candlesticks!)

When that thread was posted, many of the regular GCers could identify who the poster was, primarily by the writing style and secondarily by the clues in the story. I actually loved her thread, because the "brutally honest" part of it was being brutally honest about her self and not as a free pass to bash other chapters.

That poster did post a lot under a different name at a time when there weren't many regular posters from her organization. She was pretty frank about some struggles that her chapter was having and it would have been pretty easy to connect some dots for the more causal GC reader.

I am fully annoyed at people who don't post the group they join, because what is the point then? HOwever, I wasn't at all bothered by 20-something keeping that personal. Her story was much more about a personal journey and much less about recruitment. It wasn't necessary to reveal.

I know exactly who you are talking about, and I could figure out by reading the thread that it was a poorly kept secret.

Until the bid is physically in your hand, I personally think sharing one's ongoing recruitment is a bad idea. You never know who is reading the thread, and who has figured it out (or misunderstood something and you're now deemed to be "damaged goods").


But to each their own....

CutiePie2000 is right. We know all of you PNMs are excited, and We are excited for youand are eager to read your stories but only when it's the right time! We want to make sure you read all of this thread before you continue sharing/writing so you will be fully informed.

Best Wishes and Good Luck in recruitment!

20something felt like telling her chapter/school would take away from the thread. She exists though, and it's a real school. I promise lol.
