just wanted to put ya'lls minds at ease, and yes. scavenger hunts were brought up and also rampant misuse of social media was brought up about a comment on someones picture. now none of this was legit because it was voluntary on each hunt and the charges were brought up from some bitter members who had dropped earlier in the year for reasons that were not hazing. as a semi-new member i feel very cheated and upset that i can't live out my phi mu experience fully. i know that you guys are worried, but don't be because we know that it takes more than a piece of paper to make us a sisterhood. and although they took our charter, we are stronger now than we have been in a long time. ps: i am still saddened, but i realize that phi mu is a big part of my life, and always has been, and will continue to be. les soeurs fideles.

From Penn State this year:

IFC: AEPi lost their charter after two of their pledges were hospitalized with alcohol poisoning.

Panhel: Tri Delta lost their charter for hazing.

How about you read some posts before you do any posting? You'll see that these things have been taken care of. Secondly, when you post a charter revocation or risk management issue on GC, you must ALWAYS post supporting documentation from a reputable news source or from the groups website.

I think it's funny how he went on his "OMG HAZING IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO" rant and the proceeded to post about chapters losing charters because of hazing.

Go figure.

Sirfie, allowed.

Have we seen a "misuse of social media" issue before? I'd for one like to see how social networking sites play out in the closure of a chapter.

Yeah, I'm curious and suspecting inappropriate pictures/comments on facebook. But I get that my curiosity doesn't mean they have to say. At the same time the chapter's gag order doesn't mean we have one either.

What is also difficult for many people to understand with PTSD is that people who suffer with this disorder have IRRATIONAL responses to stimuli. What als463 probably sees as little instigation to promote a response, ie. seeing women walk around in sorority letter shirts, produces a significant response in the patient. No, it is not rational, but that is part of the disorder. Her mind is reliving the past experience every time she sees those shirts just like it's happening right then and there not six months or a year prior. If she was able to control it, she wouldn't have the diagnosis.

Geez, I wondered how we got on the subject of PTSD.

Well, someone putting quotes around "abuse" and completely misrepresenting the disorder makes the fingers start typing on their own. I just put them on the keyboard and let'm go.

Thank you for that explaination, Dr. Angel.

It's certainly not my specialty, but it always makes me SMH when people try to apply normal brain function to abnormal brain function. And, everybody is different. My husband is deathly afraid of heights. I am completely indifferent. He really cannot control it. When we went to the top of the Tokyo Tower, I thought he was going to pass out. He turned into a limp noodle. It was kind of funny, although I do feel a little sorry for him. He is so afraid, even though cognitively he knows that he is perfectly safe.

oops. on the real, i didn't mean to bold the "i sense bitterness from you too" my bad. but seriously, that wasn't an official press release. that was sent in an email to our listserve. and to be honest, it still stings a lot, when it is all over the internet and people are bad mouthing us for something that we DIDN'T DO. now i'm sorry if i offended, but to be real we are all still getting over it and would appreciate it if people would stay out of our business.
