You know your school doesn't get greeks...

No one disagreed with that. The idea as presented by the OP was that they didn't know their fraternities from their sororities. Everyone agreed that if that was not actually the true intention, then the OP was pointless.

Everyone did not agree and my post was in response to the one just before mine. What if the school knew which were which and did it on purpose? The OP and a couple of others here don't seem to be able to fathom that. That was my point.

It's not a matter of being able to "fathom" it, it's just that it is not what the original poster was commenting on.

If the OP would have said "why would a school schedule a social with two sororities?" then the first paragraph of ComradesTrue's post would have been an easy answer.

Your comment on (paraphrasing) the utter freakishness of a school scheduling GLO socials is what sent the thread off the rails in the first place.

The only person who seems to be disagreeing is you, but you're not saying anything different than what we're saying. Are you deliberately being contrary?

The OP presented the idea that the school scheduled two sororities together and two fraternities together unintentionally. Everyone operated off of that idea.

You brought up a counterpoint of "what's wrong with single-sex mixers?" when 33girl acknowledged that they should know which groups are which.

You were reassured by many that that was not what the OP was talking about, but if that were the case, there'd be no problem, and thus no point to this thread.

ASTalumna06 went back to what we were talking about.

You assumed once again that this must mean she can't possibly have considered that naraht doesn't know the motives behind the pairings. Really? We covered this already!

We acknowledge that. If they intended to pair sororities and fraternities together, then fabulous! Wonderful! That could be the case here. But it's humorous to think that they mixed them up, that's how it was presented to us, and that's what we're discussing.

I'm talking about a private event for the two groups. Why can't they be two sororities? We did them all the time at UAB. Not unusual at all. I've known of them on other campuses as well. What is it you find so odd about that? As I said, social is social...one needs to learn to interact socially with both sexes...

Nothing wrong with that at all. However, the idea being presented was that they intended to match a fraternity with a sorority, and got their names confused.

Exactly.

When referring to certain organizations, the school/Panhel/IFC/whoever should probably know which group they're actually talking about and sending to a social event (regardless of whether it's sorority-fraternity, sorority-sorority, or fraternity-fraternity).

I would love to see this.

With good reason. Who's up for a GC choral rendition?

[Titchou]

No offense, WhiteRose1912, but I'm not arguing with you or your statements. I've got a problem with one person here and everyone else is just fine. My comments aren't meant for you. If you'll go back and read just her posts you'll see how illogical they are. That's my problem. She takes one side and then the other of the argument and then says she knows what the OP meant when, in fact, the OP has never come back and said what was meant. Understand?
