Surveying currently active GCers...

I have not been around enough to be a long time GCer, but for question 2, it just needs to be said that this place is a good place to learn about overall greek like and learn about the system as a whole. There isn't a better source on the web in terms of stories/info since many other Greek life oriented sites are mainly gossip and rankings. I even linked this site to a sorority chat I joined for a place for reliable info, and many of the members lurk here.

I'll second Cookiez17's view that this site is an excellent resource for anyone wanting to know about the truth about Greek Life.

I second that emotion, CG. I came late to the board, but still around a time when greekchat was still poppin, especially with D9 members. It was a lot more topics to post about on here than just Greek life, which is what I think kept folks around. As was posted recently on the 25 years of GC thread, folks on here, including me have our favorite GC members to chat with. When those favorites leave for whatever reason, their “friends” generally eventually leave, too. There’s still a few people on here I like and enjoy conversation with, but if they leave, more likely than not, I won’t have a reason to hang around, especially without D9 members posting. D9 members pretty much made up this site, to a degree IMO. There’s only a couple of us now. Every now and then, three. We kept this site poppin, no doubt.

It’s going to be hard to get it back to the way it was when I joined because of so many other social media platforms.

Kids these days are on TikTok. They prefer to receive information in an entertaining format in 60 seconds or less. In very broad terms, many original GCers left because they've moved on on their lives (they got older) and the younger generation has not arrived to backfill in what is seen as an ancient social media format.

I think many of the earIy Greek Chatters moved on to Facebook, after fIirting with the Iate MySpace There are GC oriented pages, and the comment of "Is GC stiII up & running?" is often heard I foIIow four of those pages, and have to beIieve that there are more
