In this context:

The more common reference is what you found on Urban Dictionary. I had to learn that GCers were talking about the sound of a helicopter.

I think this is yet another example of people needing to take a deep breath before touching the keyboard. There was ZERO reason to take the OP out of context. Now, if she'd said, I'm not going to name the sorority, but they were wearing kites (or keys, or quills, or fill in the blank....) then THAT would be snarky and unnecessary.

I would request that if it was Alpha Xi that you'd contact someone at the chapter. I would hate to think our members were that clueless.

The girls were just blowing off steam, but they do have to learn that you can't talk about that stuff in public. I can totally hear the tent talk - the Alpha Beta house is drunk during rush. Can you believe it? Yes, I heard it myself - some girls were saying how their sisters were drunk during rush! Not good.

I will say this: I'm not sure how I'd take a random parent contacting my HQ regarding something they HEARD members saying on a campus.

I'm more of a "stay in your lane" kind of person. Let US (as Greeks) handle our chapters. You handle your children.

Fie!!! Fie on both your houses!!

ellebud, I know I owe you an email, but really - do you have to shame me on GC?

I was just channeling my best friend the PiPhi who is, in every sense of the word, an Angel and she would have not only complimented the parties in question, she would have made flower arrangements and baked cookies. I myself woulda gone primitive with the spear, reverting to form; but I'm working on self-control.

ETA: KSU, you not talkin' to me, right? OK, I'm going to sleep now.

Furthermore: who would want to be "that parent" who called XYZ HQ concerning a member's convo?

For real.

If I came to GC or contacted a chapter every time I overheard or saw a member of the Greek system say something I don't think they should I'd be doing that all day and night, and that's not even counting accidental facebook discoveries. I'm on a college campus in a college town, and frankly there are bigger concerns than a venting session that isn't even from my sorority, let alone chapter. Do I think people should consider time and place? Yes. Do I think it is my business to police a sorority or chapter that isn't mine when it isn't a discussion of something illegal or unsafe, but just a poor choice for in public? Hell no.

I do have no problem informing on a perp though, which is a whole separate situation.
