Obviously fake. But I seriously believe such a file could exist. Not with pledging activities though cause it wouldn't be on the same file that is titled PNMs

They would refer them as PNH- Potential New Hookups.

If it's on my computer, I'm reading it.

One of my boyfriend's fraternity brothers did something similar last year. They also work with a "PNM" slideshow with added comments and he saved it to a computer in the university library so naturally, it was forwarded to every single student.
But they weren't that negative about most of the guys and still got every single one they bid.


Another fraternity I know has an online forum, which is members only, and they post everything in there. After initiation the threads on the newly initiated guys should be deleted. But one year they forgot, and the new guys could read the entire dialogue about them during rush and pledge period. One resigned after he read it, it was THAT bad.

Amen!!!!

We keep our opinions in-meeting and on a Google Doc, so you have to be really stupid to let that get out somehow.

Naturally, of course, no class gets to see what was said about them.

It's funny to see the incoming class's reaction the following semester when we repeat the process and they're on our side of the fence.

My APO chapter does not maintain the "pledge playbook" electronically. Honestly? I'm surprised that anyone does.

Yep. I'm pretty sure we even have it in our bylaws that anything that was written along those lines needs to be destroyed right after rush. (We toss it under the Phoenix's flaming butt.)

LOL. BTW, have you seen the new Phoenix tanks National is hawking? The 80's called, and they want it back, now.

Oh, no. No no no no no. That is 1970s all over the place. Coked out disco 70s, not hippie singer-songwriter peaceful easy feeling 70s.

The Phoenix actually looks quite sad that it got caught in this unfortunate situation. When I say I want us to use that symbol more I don't mean this!!

It would look better if Sir Fidel ate it up and barfed it out.

Then again, that whole site (spelling/grammar errors and all) seems to have spread the fug pretty evenly across the NPC and NIC.

I was about to say it looks like an orange swan. Has anyone seen a Phoenix before? Well, not in real life or anything.
