Who would have thought that Greekchat would impact so many lives?

When I joined GC in 2000, my last baby had just been born. I was 46 and the baby is now in grad school. My oldest had just pledged AOII at Ga Southern. I can't count how many friends I've made, both online and IRL (I have met many). One of my daughters is Greek now because some GCers rallied after recruitment and got her introduced around; she met her now-husband at a fraternity party and they have 5 kids, thanks to FSUZeta and Penguintrax!

Several of us are in a Facebook group that helps women we know rush. Countless PNMs were able to get bids because we rallied around them. The same group sent me wine carnations (none of the members are Pi Phis) when another daughter passed away. We also give moral support to each other in the group..thanks to honeychile and again, FSUZeta!

Favorite thread-- Weird Rush Stories.

I know y'all will be making other posts that will remind me of all the wonderful things that have happened here in the last 25 years! Thank you, John!

carnation, ever since you told me about this GC story of yours quite a few years ago it has always been one of my favorites. Probably my top favorite.

Makes me

And how perfect it was that you ended up being the first to reply to this thread and share that story!

Awww, thank you so much! You really have no idea how many people that GC has done great things for in real life. We appreciate all the effort you've put into it!
