We have threads about peoples more notable bowel movements... so does this really merit our attention?

[madmax]

Seriously don't you all have more important things to chat about like this years collection of handbags?

Is there a way for users to change their default settings to revert back to the way GC used to look? That way, people who don't want to see 37 new retro recruitment threads could just avoid clicking on the Recruitment Stories sub-forum when they log on.

I would like to hear more stories from the gentlemen. I know next to nothing about fraternity recruitment, and what little I do know is from reading the guys' recruitment stories.

I would too. I once asked my SO what happened when he went through recruitment, and he just said, "I dunno...these guys kept inviting me over to their house for parties and BBQs, and they were fun to hang out with, so I kept going back, and one day, we had a ceremony, and they told me I was a pledge."

Something tells me there was more to it than that. Like maybe he got a bid?

So yes...I'd like to know more about fraternity recruitment...expansion too, because from what I understand, the process for fraternities is very different than how NPC expansion works.

To be honest it doesn't really get more exciting than that. For one we're usually choosing from much fewer groups(which equals a less exciting story), most guys will have figured out which groups they're interested in well before Rush Week. The thoughts of a freshman guy are usually "These guys seem cool, they have good parties, I could hang out with them." I would say that most guys miraculously stumble upon brotherhood and all of the real reasons for joining a GLO while they're pledging and less so when they're rushing, so the though process is less conducive to a story.

Oh, and I died when I read that line about the "GC Kitchen"

well not always. alot of schools have more fraternities then sororities. However from what I have seen, fraternity rush is a lot less structured then sorority rush.

This has nothing to do with the original intent of the thread, however...

The number of fraternities is irrelevant. What I said was that guys will narrow down the list which makes for a less exciting story than formal recruitment where you see every chapter and the field is narrowed down each day.

As to fraternity rush being less structured...duh.

Seriously. We don't care.

Signed,

Those of us who really matter.

Edited to add: Yes, I realize GC has some really sad people who care about this shit. They are the "Kitchen" GChatters we try to lock up in the kitchen so no thinks the majority are like them. They are closely related the the "basement" AI people. Stay far from them.

Thank you.

Really folks, retro recruitment threads were cool like 3 summers ago when people who ACTUALLY posted here were doing them.

Now they're just posted by randoms who come here just to get attention.

And I HATE when people ask "Who wants to hear my recruitment story?"

A certain GCer got upset because a girl deleted her retro story after she asked that and I honestly said "NO. I'm over them."

I'm sorry. They're lame and I'm over them.

Is it ACTUAL LIVE recruitment season yet?

[Senusret I]

i REALLY like this thread.

Oh, for heaven's sake. I agree with Anchor Alum and violetpretty. If you don't like them, don't read them. There are bigger problems in the world - and if you don't have anything more pressing to worry about, I envy you!
