If I were a DG I would be really offended by you still using my letters especially since some other people have already told you how rude it is so now you know and being new to this is no excuse. It would be easy to do the right thing and be nice and start over with a new name."

Had she just posted the name was confusing and politely suggested a change, that would have been one thing. Instead, she said that DGIllinois should be really offended, thereby trying to instigate something, said that I know how"rude" it is, and claimed that being new is "no excuse." And she had ZERO to add to my comment. So she was rude, and was your comment that you hope my daughter is nicer than I appear to be. Funny, I specifically wrote that if you did not want me to reply to let up, but you and old row just cant stop. If me posting with this name bothers you so, stop engaging me.

The disclaimer in your signature does you no good. Seriously, just stop.

I know...so if anyone posts that means they don't respect me?
That's not fair to anyone and that's for me to say not someone else.
I am just fine and people responding to someone elses post has nothing to do with me. The most important thing to remember is that all these parents love their child and it oftens hurts more to see your child feel rejection than to be rejected yourself.
I once heard someone say having a child is like taking your heart and throwing it out in the middle of the street.
It is so much easier to be kind to someone and can make all the difference in how someone feels.

And this post is an example of why I have the utmost respect for you!

I so respect you for staying out of the fray, though I know it makes you cringe to see your letters used by a non member. I guess there are worse things in the world, but you are a class act.

AngelMom checking in!!! Heard from my daughter around noon (we're down south so there is an hour time difference!)…She was soooo fortunate to have received 3 invites for today…and all are houses that I KNOW she'd be happy at! She indicated that parties were scheduled for 1)noon 2) 1:20pm 3) 2:40pm if that helps anyone. I don't get a play-by-play account from her, which is good in that this is totally her experience. I know she is tired, though, and happy that the process is almost over (in a good way!).
I had to laugh about the 'attending' bid day comment too! I never realized that some schools (SEC in particular) actually have a 'mom's brunch' after Bid Day, etc! Tons of gifts bestowed on girls, etc too! my…..times have changed….!

It's a great school and there are wonderful kids there. She'll do great either way.

And as another poster said, there is "people" drama everywhere, unfortunately. My assistant's daughter is a sophomore in college and not in a sorority. She lives with 5 girls--non-Greek--and wow, the drama! I forget about what a big deal certain things are at that age. Again, good luck to her.

People gave you an easy solution in that thread to create a new user account but you refused. So that makes you not only a bully but a perp because no one reads signatures.



I think most of us would prefer a rude bully like you to no longer post here at all.

Really? Direct me to where I refused to pick a new name. In fact, I tried to create a new username, but it would not allow me do do so, and said that only one account per email address. So I made a mistake and I:

1. Contacted the administrator to change the username
2. Wrote a signature to disclaim affiliation
3. Tried to change usernames but was not allowed to do so.
4. Posted that if DGIllinois wants me to stop posting and not update on the recruiting, I will stop posting as soon as the attacks stop.

So your accusation that I refused to change names is patently false. Not only did I not refuse, I actively tried. Moreover, I honestly admitted that I have nothing to do with delta gamma, and the only reason people are supposedly offended is because of my honesty.

If some people here are interested in what transpires with my daughter, I will post. if it offends DGIllinois to post with my current name, I won't. I have no option to change names until the administrator acts.

Oh poor me...I can't make a new user name by reregistering and picking a name with no sorority name in it that won't offend anyone on GC. No that isn't completely possible and easy to do.

Not a mom (yet), but I just have this picture of the brunch mainly serving bottomless mimosas...

I couldn't care less if YOU are offended.

Maybe I'll make my next username AOII Angel2

Several people told you to open a new account and use it, but you didn't, instead you kept on using the offensive one even after you supposedly asked for a new one and threatened to never change it here because you were mad that people were offended. You do not seem to understand that your user name is offensive to all Greeks and not just Illinois Greeks or Delta Gammas because we take our organizations seriously. I can't even believe you are someone's mom because you are having temper tantrums like my littlest sister who is in third grade. Try to act your age and position in life.

Now would be a PERFECT time for the moderators to go on a power trip and do a DrPhil.

We can tell you don't care. It comes across loud and clear in all your posts. I wouldn't put it past you to come back as another group in your second username. It is rude and disrespectful. That is what people have been trying to tell you but you don't want to hear. This is GC where GREEK LETTER ORGANIZATION MEMBERS come to chat. When you put a sorority name in your username, you will be assumed to be a member. No one wants to be rude to you, think badly of you, wish ill of you, but you are breaking a cardinal rule of GC and Greek life. Don't use the name of a Greek Organization unless you are a member. Your daughter will likely be mortified if she saw your posts since she'll soon understand what we are talking about. We'd love to hear more about her recruitment. Just go reregister as IllinoisMom or something. It's not that much to ask.

Yay for your daughter! Is she going to her legacy house?

Haha we do everything a little over the top in the south and bid day is a big party. I didn't know things were different in other big schools until I found this site.
