OK, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my cheeks from laughing so damn hard!

Is Hoosier, DeltaAlum, ZNTKE, or anyone else whom places post the GC Threads a member of a cult of anti-greeks.

Do I bash other Greeks? No, But, I do get posts daily from a service showing the ignorant things that Chapters do.

While I do not condone many things that My Chapter does, I let my feelings be known whether they like it or not. But, I also try to give the best advice I can to them! If I am wrong, I admit it, do you?

The harshest words were by the Soroitys as near as I can tell! But What the F*&k is up with you? Do not open schools up to allow other other Soroitys to come on campus. Why, because you cannot get your membership quotas filled!

Let me ask you why!

If you cannot stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

Are Fraternities recuitment different than yours, Da Yes, Why!

Do not give me pious better than thou BS. it Dont work with me, be doing this longer than most of you are3 old!

Are Ideals good, Yes, are they really true? Each of you must answer that!

Am I upset with this putch, yes! Did He do it right NO!

Is he a Asswhole, yes!

Would you do it in a clear conceious, I doubt it!!

I could see if it wasn't SO painfully obvious that you and agreek are one in the same, Tom. This is laughable.

Funny....

Tom, in one post you tell newbies and those not here much to be careful because they haven't been here long enough.....and then turn around on another post and praise the only one that agrees with you!!!

Hoosier counter attacks

I'm sorry, but I missed the rules that apparently say that only posts that everyone loves are allowed. Some people want only things like "my favorite color" discussed.

In watching for Greek news over the past few years, I'm shocked by the number of chapters being killed by National GLOs, IFCs, and schools due to hazing and booze. By posting clippings from some of these, I hope others will realize the big problem this is. Others are also posting such items, which I haven't seen, and I appreciate that. We are adding some new chapters, but never with one percent of the publicity which accompanies some pledge swimming gone bad at Reno, etc. Hiding bad news doesn't make it go away.

Occasionally I try to express my opinion that sorority rush is stupid, and know that many agree. Many sorority members seem to accept that "we've always done it this way" and "all of the rules are made by the national NPC/GLO" and some modern ideas are needed.

But since several seem to want to know my opinions:

Favorite color - red
Favorite car - GMC Yukon
Favorite weather - clear and cool
Favorite college towns - Nashville, Columbus
Favorite www site - Badjocks.com
Favorite sport - soccer
Favorite party - GOP
Favorite poster - Tom

I'm an old newspaper guy, and I try to put a snappy headline on posts, and encourage others to do so. If this thread was "LXA violates rush rules" a few would read it and comment. When I put "hate" in the headline, lots of peeps read and respond - and CHAT (that's what this is: GREEK CHAT).

Best wishes to all.

Tom, I hate to say it, but after your last two posts, I don't think that you're in any position to call this man an asshole.

Which one, the Star or the Enquirer?

I understand what you are saying about getting this stuff out in the open, and if you feel the need to appoint yourself the Jiminy Cricket of GC, well you go, but that gives you NO RIGHT to speak for an entire group for the sake of a "snappy headline." I think people would read anyway, without your sensationalism. If they don't, they're not interested - deal with it and move on. Not every thread posted is going to garner a huge response. If you feel like you have to slam other groups for the end purpose of getting more posts in a thread on a message board, I truly feel sorry for you.

I don't "knock" Hoosier for posting the articles. If you will re-read my post, you will note that I don't mind the articles themselves. Again, I do believe that it is in all of our best interest to see what kind of PR is out there about greeks. It's our fault that it's out there to begin with.

I also didn't say that Hoosier NEVER posts opinions - only that it is RARE... which it is.

There also seems to be a misconception that I'm a "newbie" as some like to say. Well, rest asured that I have been around GC for almost two years but recently had to re-register because of technical issues.

Post all of the articles you want - just take a look at the spirit of the presentation. Don't just light a fire and watch it burn. Maybe some of you have seen the car insurance commercial (I believe it's Geico) where the squires are intentially causing car accidents - that's what I feel like when I see titles like the one on this thread. And it's not the only time that it's happened - it's just that this one was in exceptionally bad taste in my opinion and appeared to be an attempt to pit one fraternity against another - ON A NATIONAL LEVEL.

Hoosier - thanks for your candid reply earlier. I actually did appreciate the humor with which it was written.

Thank you, and good night.

End of story.
I completely agree. LXA was breaking rush rules. It sounds like some people on this thread care more about the fact that the chapter was caught than if they were breaking the law or not. Any representative from a National or International GLO would have been bound to do report the incident, no matter whether the representative was a member of LXA, Sig Ep, or Phi Mu. The chapter were breaking the law plain and simple.

Eh, well, from your post it sure came across like you were knocking Hoosier and I know I'm not the only one that got that message.

When you put an emphasis on "VERY rare" I consider that to mean basically "never." It shouldn't have to matter if he posts an opinion or not, this isn't "OpinionGreekchat.com."

Lastly, I never made any reference to you being a "newbie." I don't really have an interest in the duration of time you've been lurking on gc.

I don't really have an opinion on the istuation at hand I figure thats between the two groups. But I wanted to say something on behalf of Lambda Chi... The men from that fraternity that I know and attend school with are some of the most Godly men i have ever met and I am proud to call them my friends! I just don't want anyone to think that since one chapter messed up that the whole fraternity should be judged by that one incident!

Hey Ryan Jacobson is a national officer, and he has to uphold rules and regulations. How bad would it look if a national officer ignores regulations in front of the local chapter. There goes the HQ credibility when it tries to enforce regulations.

As far as hoosier's post, i never had a problem with the content, however, the subject line is something else.

In this subject alone, her subjects were:

Another reason Lambada Chis hate SigEps

and in the SigEp forum:

I Wish Ryan Jacob would keep his mouth shut.

I guess I may as well throw in my opinions here:

1)a $5k fine is rediculous. I don't know how the IFC works out there, but I've never seen a chapter fined for breaking rules. Other sanctions were given, and that was enough.

c)i agree that it could have, and probably should have been handled differently than the tattle-tale mentality, but they were in a public place (even if it was a private party, it was at a hotel) and were damn lucky they didn't get in "real" trouble, say with the local fuzz.

3st)tom, you're crazy
