Cut from all Chapters at UGA

I'm really not interested in finding some drama here that doesn't exist. Sorry.


ETA: I'm not really sure -- exactly -- what "selling yourself" really looks like during rush. Appearing to be someone who is "trying too hard" may not play as sincere.

No it really isn't self explanatory. An alumna of any sorority giving advice in a thread has NOTHING to do with whether or not her collegiate chapter gives women bids when they re-rush. She may not even be in the position to make those decisions. You making those catty comments about her chapter to "shame" her are really hurtful as PNMs can google her chapter name and find your comments. It is completely unnecessary, and it doesn't matter if you are an alumna of Alabama or Timbuktu. Quit being a haughty brat and leave DG alone. They just got back to campus and don't need you slamming them every few weeks on GC.

BTW, normal people when they disagree with advice given by others on a thread just state their own differing advice without dragging the other poster's sorority into the situation. I get that you don't know how you'd "sell yourself" in recruitment. Fine. Just leave it at that.

There isn't any shame in pledging PNMs who were released from recruitment.

The fact that they were released does not necessarily mean that they did something wrong or didn't do something right. That's the point.

Those girls can benefit a new sorority -- a chapter recolonizing needs members who are enthusiastic about joining a sorority. And PNMs who were released represent a pool of girls who are!

No one said there was. You are the only one who brought this up.

Then say that and do not bring up other universities and chapters. And CERTAINLY don't bring personal jabs into it.

UGA isn't colonizing a new sorority this year. This is not relevant in this thread.

SECglitter, just so you know a MCGLO is Multicultural Greek Letter Organization. They offer similar fellowship and philanthropic opportunities as NPC, but operate under a different umbrella organization.

Actually, AOII Angel brought it up:

I just responded to her insinuation:

What might be questionable (or at least amazingly clairvoyant ), IMO, is an alum claiming to know why a PNM was released from recruitment, based on her own experience, 50 years ago, on a different campus.

I’m actually delighted that Delta Gamma recolonized at Bama – a much needed addition to the Greek system, and done very well.

The fact that girls who were released from recruitment were pledged as part of the new membership is not a negative, but rather a win/win. We shouldn’t make an assumption that something is inherently “wrong” with a girl who has been released from recruitment.

That’s the point (that I have made repeatedly).

And you could have made this point without naming a specific chapter.

This is rich. I didn't bring up Alabama; you did. No one has tried to say there is anything wrong with SECglitter, including Titchou. There was no reason to bring a colonizing chapter from another university into the discussion EXCEPT to through it in Titchou's face. There are no colonizing chapters at UGA so it is completely irrelevant otherwise. Don't blame me for your classless lack of judgement. When I disagree with Titchou, I just say so, I don't attack her organization. Leave her sorority out of it.

Actually Titchou brought up Alabama.

Please point out where her organization has been attacked. Stating that a recolonizing organization pledges girls who have been released from recruitment is not an attack.

Rather, it is some of you who are imposing a negative view on pledging these girls with your characterization of this as an "attack."

It has nothing to do with pledging women who may have been released from recruitment. It is about a pattern of bringing up DG specifically to slam Titchou. She never said that SECglitter or women who were released are not worthy of membership. You read that into her posts then threw her chapter's new colonization in her face and said, "betcha took a lot of women that got released from recruitment." What about this sequence of events was not a catty use of an innocent colony to get back at a GC member that you don't like? Seriously? You didn't post that with good intentions bc it was irrelevant to the situation at UGA. Quit pretending. We aren't dumb. We remember your prior ugly remarks about her chapter. There is a such thing as reading between the lines.

Titchou brought up Alabama as a means of telling the OP that she is familiar with large, competitive recruitments.

You just don't like her and feel the need to bring up her chapter.
