I don't think it's that serious. This sounds more like a sitting-around-drinking-wine sort of question that pops into your head - sort of like "Remember when everyone wore those Coca Cola sweatshirts and thought they were awesome?"

I don't know, by the poster's name, it sounds more like the trolling for info kind of question so I can write a shady book/script about vampire sorority girls kinda question.

Which is the kind of question you ask people with whom you are familiar. You wouldn't just go up to random people and ask. GC regulars may or may not know each other in real life, but if you had asked such a question here, you wouldn't have gotten that kind of a response. Because you're "known." Even a newbie who joined the boards, joined in some threads, and generally chatted a bit wouldn't have gotten the same response. Also, note the use of not quite right terminology. No one has chimed in yet to say that's what ABC calls/called it.

Smelled like a troll to me, YMMV.

I do recall that Chi Omega refers to that position as the Personnel Chair; ADPi calls it the Director of Standards and Ethics. As I am not a Chi Omega I didn't say anything until this was pointed out. Chi O's, please correct me if I am wrong.

Ok. Thanks for the info. I still think its a weird question to just ask random people.

We may find it weird, but they have a reason for asking and this is the fraternity and sorority chat network. What better place to ask the question if you don't have recent chapter sisters on hand to ask and executive office is closed for the night?

What nefarious end can come of answering this non-ritual question? Worst case scenario: If OP's username appears suspicious and we think she's writing a novel about Greeks, isn't it better to provide accurate information than fitting the stereotypical mean girls mold that the media likes to paint around sororities?

And maybe she hasn't kept in touch with any Greek sisters, or its late at night, or her friends don't know either. People use the internet to find quick answers.

Why have we grown so quick to condemn everyone?

Yep, we are very rough on newbies. Makes us seem like Bene Gesserit Crones
