There is a perp mom on Greek Chat right now. 100% confirmed. I don't know if she went as far as submitting a fake RIF but you have cleaned up her messes on Greek Chat.

Yes, sororities don't have computers.

This thread slays me!

"Which chapters will do COR/Informal Recruitment at Uber-Competitive U?" ~~ I got cut from all the "best" chapters, so I dropped out because I wasn't happy with the choices I had left. I don't realize that the "best" chapters will probably make Quota and be well above Total. The ones who may be doing COR were probably the ones you weren't happy with.

I have never understood why some moms will come on here and say I can't understand how my Susie Snowflake was cut from all the top houses she has grades, activities, and a great personality.... Really mom something must not be up to snuff???

In the past few years in the SEC, it seems that all the chapters make quota and are well above total.

Regarding perp recs, I noticed when I did a rec this year that my sorority wants the recs to go through FHQ. I'm assuming so they can confirm legitimacy before forwarding to the chapters. Also a reason to have them electronic - auto search!

I can't believe nobody has done this one yet:

"Computer error" means "Nobody likes me".

"Computer error" could also mean "I wrote down XYZ, but realized too late that all of my friends from high school were going to ABC"

I can't ever remember a time when someone said "bless your/her/his heart" using ANY tone of voice that I didn't consider it at least a polite insult. Same for "you may remember"....what the heck? Am I that old and senile now?????

Yes, please. We don't care for perps around here.

I'm still trying to figure out why so few PNMs are posting this year and so many Moms are posting? I mean, can't Sally Snowflake use a computer and type "sorority message board" into her favorite search engine to find us and ask her own questions?

While I'm at it, Mom, you just may not know your Snowflake as well as you think. It's not just recs, grades, class rank, volunteer efforts and extracurricular activities. Last time I checked, recruitment still was and is a mutual selection process.

This is what I do not like: People who mimic Senator McCarthy holding up a list and proclaiming, "I have a list of commies!" without backup. If you "know" something AND it is important, say so...privately. That person will go away quietly. But do not cast a black light on ALL the pnms and/or moms who are posting their stories. There are people who could be hurt by you, and for no good reason.

It is a vicious, nasty and unethical thing to do.

"I don't know why XYZ keeps inviting me back" - I think I am too good for this chapter; other "better" chapters cut me; I am considering being rude/telling them I am not interested in their chapter so I don't get invited back

Consider the source, a 3-post noob claiming to have such information? No one believes you unless you state who and how you know.
