In this thread, Senusret I complains about bad grammar in facebook status updates

[ComradesTrue]

Okay, admittedly the grammar and spelling are spot-on, however, this is just totally obnoxious. The following status updates have run in the past week or so, not coincidently at the exact same time as some SEC recruitments. This individual has friended over 1000 people, including many college freshmen. BTW- This is an alumna with grown children… not someone who just graduated 3 months ago.

Alumna: XYZ is FUN! Every year, over xxx undergraduate women across America join XYZ for fun and lifelong friendships. XYZ offers a home in your new college environment and a place to make your mark on the world. You will make a difference in XYZ. XYZ will make a difference in you. 8/8/09

Alumna: XYZ alumnae and collegiate chapters across the nation have raised over $xxx for [philanthropy] during the past school year. Over xxx volunteers dedicated more than xxx volunteer hours to help make wishes come true. This brings XYZ’s total support since the alliance began in xxxx to more than xxx million dollars. Congrats to XYZ and [philanthropy]. 8/12/09

Alumna: During college, you will grow academically, attend social functions, contribute to your community through volunteer service, and have unlimited leadership opportunities. The experience of being a XYZ will prepare you to flourish during college and beyond. As an alumna, you may join any of XYZ’s xxx alumnae chapters across the country and beyond. 8/13/09.

Alumna: XYZ is the [deleted] women’s fraternal organization in the world with over xxx initiates and xxx collegiate chapters. 8/16/09

Alumna: Welcome to the XYZ Sisterhood –[Girls first and last name] and [Girl’s first and last name] ! 8/18/09

In addition, she has posted multiple links to the national website, facebooks groups, etc for XYZ.

At least it is all spelled correctly.

Wow. Well at least she is involved.

Can you PM me her name? When I googled this wording, a chapter's fan site came up.

Girl who usually thinks Gs are Qs . . .got a ass thata swallow up a G-string && up top. . .ummm Tw0 bee stinqs ;-)

This isn't status update related really, but I am so tempted to start a group called:

I Can't Believe My Friend Is __________

If your previously normal friends have turned up in groups WAY to the left or WAY to the right as far as religion/politics are concerned, if they are fans of music you consider reprehensible, or if you never realized how ghastly their spelling and grammar was before the advent of Facebook, join this group.

With the way that Facebook has united people from WAY back (i.e. haven't talked to each other since high school, middle school, or even grade school), I would bet that you'd get a heck of a lot of members to that group.

[pshsx1]

Geez. I think I'd avoid the GLO with the crazy alum who friended me...

I had 2 SigEps friend me before I started college (for 2 different reasons) and there wasn't one 'OMG PURPLE AND RED JOIN JOIN JOIN' post from them. I only got info about the Fraternity if I asked..

Another "non-grammar" one:

I just saw an old friend's page. This guy is in the same industry and is extremely intelligent. However, he's changed his "info" to read:

Activities: XYZ Fraternity, Leadership Council, Honors Club, and [girlfriend]
Favorite Music: [girlfriend]
Favorite Movies: [girlfriend]
Favorite Books: [girlfriend]
Favorite Quotes: [girlfriend]
About Me: [girlfriend]

Seriously dude?

Maybe [girlfriend] did that?

Maybe. It's still whack, though lol

[Senusret I]

I need to know what sorority that woman is promoting.

Anyway, so I have been friended by a LOT of high school people over the past few months, even guys I know for a fact never spoke to me. (Not that I'm mad, but you know how high school tribes are)

This one guy seems as sweet as pie, but is definitely touched. ALL of his statuses are about his elementary, middle, and high school or his neighborhood. NOTHING is in the present. Everything is very random. Here is his latest:

DAVE CHAPELL IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COMEDIANS and HE IS ALSO FROM WASHINGTON D.C. WHICH IS MY HOMETOWN. DAVE CHAPELL GRADUATED FROM DUKE ELLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL. MY OTHER FAVORITE COMEDIAN MARTIN LAWERANCE IS ALSO FROM THE D.C. AREA....GINUWINE IS FROM ...D.C. THE SINGER MYA IS FROM GREENBELT M.D., TONY BRAXTON IS FROM SOMEWHERE DOWN THE WAY...LLOYD BANKS IS REALLY FROM SOMEWHERE BETWEEN BALTIMORE AND P.G. COUNTY.

[Senusret I]

For all the fans of The Stand, this is akin to "M-O-O-N -- that spells Washington."

[Senusret I]

In other news, a former student worker of mine now goes to college. By the time I noticed this status, it was too late to really talk about discretion:

....
really jus wanna chill in the room n work on my speech for thursday but i guess ill go to the lil AKA meeting at 7 n c wassup wit it.
