DGWannabe, I find it hard to believe you didn't know about Panhellenic rules.

HotDamn, I agree. Plus she told us she now wants to be a DG--in a third group! Plus she's been caught up in too many "mistruths", which she has tried to edit quickly but not until several GCers have seen them.

Okay, we won't post about how "stupid" you are. We'll just keep discussing it in pms.

"Drunk sorority waitresses"? OMG.

When I shook his hand I had one finger extended slightly and it was touching his pulse-which is *part*, not all, of the handshake. I didn't do the whole thing.

I don't get it...Why on Earth would you post ANY of your handshake on GC?? "Because I was defending myself and making excuses" is not a good answer...If I did that, my sisters would straight up get on here just to flame me.

I was just shaking his hand. I didn't even realize that I had done it until the other guy said something about it that's why I "guess" I gave him part of the grip. That's what I meant by "kind of".

Again, I still don't understand....If you're such a kissy huggy girl, that means your don't shake ANYONE's hand on any kind of a regular basis...Especially since you haven't seen tons of sisters in the recent past (I'm guessing). So how has that put you in SO much of a habit that you "accidentally" "kind of" gave your grip "you guess" to some guy.


I guess I just don't get it


Edited because I, somewhere along the line, forgot how to type.

Ladies, why all the nastiness directed towards DGWannabe? If you're right and she's lying about the two-sorority thing, then she's obviously not spilling any important information about her GLO to anybody, so why worry about it? (Not to mention the fact that I don't think she's mentioned either of the GLOs that she was theoretically initiated into, we wouldn't know which organization these secrets applied to even if she had!) And if she's not lying, then y'all are being awfully mean for no reason!

Yes, her story is unlikely, but not impossible. A lot of us here are -- often in part BECAUSE of Greekchat -- really well-informed about the Panhellenic rules. Most people are not. It's not that surprising to me that she didn't know you couldn't be initiated into two. I didn't know that either, until I did some research. Also, not every sorority girl is as upstanding as most of you all, and not all of them take their ritual as seriously as you do, so I wouldn't be surprised that some of them might accidentally spill some secret information, especially while drunk. It's unfortunate, but I'm sure it happens.

Let's all calm down . . . it's not that big of a deal.


As for the handshakes: there are only so many variations on the handshake that you can do, and they aren't THAT different. It would make sense that many groups have very similar ones.

Sugar and spice--

When I see a thread in which I don't understand why someone's getting flamed, I realize (though I didn't for about a year) that there's some kind of history going on, that there's a background to the situation that I don't understand. Maybe there's bad blood or the flamee has been caught lying or perping or trying to disturb the peace on GC.

If more than one GCer is going after the flamee, I *know* that's what's going on!

That may be true, but at the same time, I think it's ridiculous that everyone's getting so upset and just tearing into her -- it just drags us down to her level. Y'all could discredit her without being so nasty.

And on the off chance that this ISN'T an imposter, wouldn't you rather have known that you gave her the benefit of the doubt?

I don't see why everyone's making such a big fuss about it. Even if she is just lying and trying to stir up trouble, it's the way you guys have reacted that makes her more likely to do it again -- she's getting the attention she wants. And she hasn't personally attacked anyone, and if she's a liar then she hasn't even spilled any GLO secrets -- absolutely no harm done. I don't see why this is such a big deal.

Because, as I said--you don't know the history!

[sugar and spice]

What is the history? PM me, please?

I still don't see what they could have done via an internet message board that could possibly be that bad, but if there's more to the story then who knows?

[DGWannabe]

I am not sure what *history* carnation is referring to. However,
I have pulled my post from here since some viewed it as offensive-although it was not meant o be such. Thank you to those have sent me supportive pm's-I appreciate it.

To those who I have inadvertantly angered, it was not my intention.

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

sugar and spice, you're right, there's not much life-altering stuff that can come up on a message board.

That said, don't get on a message board full of greek letter organization members and announce that you've compromised two sororities by cross-joining and are attempting to join a third, don't consistently lie, and don't volunteer false information and NOT EXPECT TO BE CALLED ON IT.

Carnation, I agree with everything you've said and think you've verbalized it beautifully.

[TKESweetheart]

whats going on? someone please pm me. I've read DGWannabe's msgs, but I didn't really see any reason for all this hostility. Am I missing something?

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

She deleted a couple.

Don't worry, it's not worth catching up on!
