Congratulations! How'd you like being a PC of one? The PC before mine was one, and then mine was almost half the chapter so it was amazing to us how someone could do it alone

I'm a little confused about what a story about informal and unstructured recruitment has to do with these lessons for formal recruitment.
What does this story have to do with bid day and handling emotions there, etc?
I feel like I missed something vital in this thread that links it to this advice.....

Maybe the OP aspires to become a stickied recruitment story, a la StrawberryGloss.

Congrats on Tri-Delta...
But... jebus. A two-month long COB process? Does that even leave you enough time for a proper new member period? And then your chapter decides NOT to take any new members after two months of activities and commitment already? Without even reaching out to women to offer bids?
This does seem a bit A) fishy or B) seriously disorganized.

That's because you can't. Like SWTXBelle said, mods (or John, the administrator) can move threads.

When I saw this earlier, it screamed "creative writing exercise", and now with the ridiculously unnecessary "cliffhanger", I'm pretty convinced it is. 
This is one of those cases where "the rules" for writing your rush story really apply. Don't start your story if you "don't have much time" and either way, it's best to type the whole thing before you start posting. Break it up over several posts to differentiate days/rounds/whatever, but not to be a drama queen over an extended period.

It's someone anonymous being a bully for no reason (I once again remind you that you are reading this entirely by CHOICE and it is as simple as a click of your mouse to get to someone else's thread). I came on this site with honest intentions of sharing my story and reading the stories of others, and I'm very sorry that I did not post it how you thought I should. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is always welcome, but to discourage someone from posting just because you don't like how they share their story is pretty pathetic.

Learn to read, chickie - I said your cliffhanger was ridic, not your story.
I also said that girls that drag their stories over an extended period are drama queens, you were the one that applied it to yourself.
I am able to pick a different thread to read, but I'm also able to read and comment on this one.
Between the codename change, the "not having time to write", and the dramatic cliffhanger, this story reads like fanfic. Let me be clear, since you obviously need it, I'm not outright calling it fanfic, I'm saying that the symptoms are there.
