While this is true, OP didn't mention/say/imply that anywhere in this post (regardless of whether the OP actually thinks it) and there's nothing wrong with posting some history in your GLO-specific forum.

You must be new around here.

You got that right.

Well it takes about two seconds to realize the OP thinks chi o is the greatest thing to happen to the world for a variety of reasons, which is why I said "regardless of what the OP actually thinks," but coming onto the chi o group to call her out about it just seems unnecessary. In the other threads where she's said things to this extent and people have called her out? Sure, fine. But everyone has "brag about your GLO"/"one of us did something awesome"/"chapter whatever won 18384 awards" type threads in their GLO-specific threads and no one cares, how is this different?

#1 The post shows up on the front page and many people, particularly new members, don't look at what forum it's posted in.

#2 You are drawing conclusions only from historic posts that still exist. There's lots of nasty deleted history from the OP.

#3 You don't know I'm not a Chi Omega.

1. So? A PNM reads that chi o was the biggest in 1925, and is biggest today. PNM might think "oh, that's cool" and move on. If the PNM thinks "I want to join that group because they're the biggest!" is that really the kind of mindless follower any of us want in our GLOs, regardless of size? Replying to it only keeps it on the front page longer.

2. I lurked forever and spent an embarrassing amount of time on here before I signed up, so I've seen some of what the OP's said. Even if that's the moderated version, coming on here unprovoked seems silly.

3. This is true, I never said that you weren't.

"Lots," really? "Nasty," really? That is absolutely not true.

Must be awfully crowded in that bubble of denial you inhabit.

It is definitely implied.

There is also nothing wrong with replying to a post with your personal opinion. That's rather the modus operandi of the whole site. So you can stop worrying about playing posting police and telling posters that their posts are "unnecessary". Oxygen is necessary. Posting rarely is.

I'm hardly playing posting police, I'm "new here" and know better. I was just replying to a post with my personal opinion as it says in the doc posted, "few of us would actually concede any lack of strength because of numbers". I guess I just feel like one of my favorite things about reading here is that when people get called out, it's for a good reason and it's just awesome to read, so calling out some crazy person implying things in her little corner of the Internet just doesn't fit that in my head. Note that I'm not saying "wow you're a bitch, why would you say that?" or "leave her alone she's a nice lady," I was just sharing my personal feelings, which absolutely apply to no one but myself. Does that mean my post was unnecessary? Probs. Oh well, sadly for everyone else I have an email address and internet connection so here I am!

In that case, how about you stop being that which you despise and let the Chi Omegas have their thread back.

Thank you!

This is interesting as historical trivia, but not much else, IMO.

Look, I love my fraternity and all that she stands for. However, I can see why some people don't like these threads. It can seem that we're patting ourselves on the bag saying, "Wow, look how cool we are! We are everywhere!" If I ever start feeling that way, I'll look at how many chapters we have on the East Coast. A good dose of humility.
