Well, if it was good enough for you to do for Alumiyum, it was certainly good enough for me to do for you!

Pointing out someone's tiresome personality is hardly the same as pointing out a typo. I guess you're kind of special too.

Nope...not any moreso than anyone else. God loves us all equally....I'm OK with that.

If what she said is true, do you think it's appropriate that this sorority woman was speaking about this out in the open with a fraternity member?

Personally I don't. I think it's bad form. But I'm sure whether or not it would have an effect depends on the campus.

I find the whole situation to be fiction. A "friend" overheard two people at a meeting discussing this. It isn't even first hand, and looks to me like a set up for how horrible and mean sorority women and the Greek system are.

I do not concur with my sister that our posting online is a bad example for sorority women, I find people entertaining dramarama fake postings to be a bigger issue. This poster may not even be a real person and with the other posts Barbie thankfully mined for us, if this is a real situation, there are a lot of reasons this person may not successfully receive a bid, and start projecting or making stuff up for sympathy or ego protection.

I have never said posting online is a bad example (and obviously don't think that), I simply pointed out that if stereotypes via PNMs are rubbing sorority women the wrong way, being rude to PNMs isn't a good method of debunking said stereotypes.

Sorry, posting online rudely.

I think rude is a very subjective term. If we tell someone something they don't want to hear, for example when they ask a question that is common, we tell them to search or it isn't something we discuss, no they can't join another NPC once they initiated; that isn't rude in my opinion, that's just someone who isn't happy with reality.

I know I am perceived as rude because I am tired of the whiny, give it to me, I can't bother to research it myself, entitlement culture and helicopter parenting on this site and in higher education. For kids who grew up using the internet a lot of them have very thin skins. Furthermore, this site is open to view, so it isn't a huge secret of our culture and style. No one here is going to post and get a huge surprise, unless they are incapable of reading ahead of time and using the search function.

*Head on desk*

There is a difference between telling someone to use the search function and being a complete cow because said poster didn't use it in the first place.

Ok people, nothing else to see here. It doesn't matter how many circles we all run in no one here is going to change their minds.

That's why I asked IF it was true.

You're right, you said it "Reflects badly." Those are soooooooooooooo different. In fact reflecting badly is probably worse at is suggests her actions have tainted others, rather than just being one singular example of badness.

But you ask really stupid questions so I'm not sure why you expected an answer.

She responded just to not respond, I didn't expect anything from her. You mean it's really stupid in the sense that obviously this isn't appropriate for a sorority woman to do?

Not any more inappropriate than Luke Skywalker kissing his sister on the mouth and getting a boner.

In case you don't get what I'm saying, this whole situation is so obviously fiction - as in, the sort of fiction that would never happen - that to discuss its appropriateness is ludicrous.

The question could still be asked, regardless of whether it happened to this girl or not. I know I've definitely heard sorority women say things that were less than tactful in regards to Greek Life.

And you really have no proof that it's fiction. I would say that none of us know a thing about this girl, for sure.
