Yes, I think you're right. I just have an impulse to respond to slights against me, and I admit that I did get quite frustrated when people imply that I am a liar or fraud. I thought that I wrapped up my thoughts a deal earlier but then someone asked "your schools hosts recruitment parties?" (Also paraphrasing), I said no, and I explained it fully. Someone else asked "do others do it?" I said no, and explained myself. Then others commented on my account of the party and called me a troll, so I replied to clarify and defend myself. I have only continued posting because others asked for clarification, certainly not because I want to throw shade (at an imaginary target at that). But I am done for good! Thank you again for all the ladies who were helpful. This will be my last post on the topic - I promise! If anyone has any more questions, please PM. Have a good Summer everyone

OK look:

1) first bold, above - stop. Or you'll be exhausted before you're 21 and your life will suck even more than you ever thought possible. 99% of what you think are "slights against you" are nothing of the sort. And it takes two to engage, rage, etc. So be the big person and just stop. There are better things to do with your time.

2) "imaginary target"? Hardly. You said you were talking about a sorority at your upcoming campus, and very real actives and alums. Go back and read what KSUViolet wrote.

Let's see if you stick to your resolve that the above was your last post. Benefit of the doubt: wishing you the best of luck at recruitment (imaginary or not).

I guess I can understand why someone might prefer to not join a house that dirty rushes. However, no one on GC can make this decision for you.

If the way this sorority is reaching out to you you don't like then don't go to the events.

You seem to be very caught up on the words "dirty rushing" and I'm not sure why. I just get a feeling that your looking to confirm they are dirty rushing and then do what with that info?

The problem is if she doesn't go to the events she is invited to it could be construed as rude or snobbish.

Well, if she's not interested in them because they are dirty rushing, then it doesn't matter if they think she's rude or snobbish, n'est pas?
