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.

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!

I'm amazing, I know. Thanks.
ETA to everyone in general: GC is so fucking anal retentive lately. I remember when the H&A, Rudey, Cashmoney, etc. used to post. You might not have agreed with them. You could even start a whole thread about how you disliked them. But, you weren't so fucking uptight that you suggested everyone hold hands and sing songs about rainbows, ponies, and getting along. Hell, dealing with Earp was even better than dealing with the dumbasses that have joined in the past year or two.
The thread was started to deal with an issue I (and others) find to be important. The stories are getting more and more "out there" and fake. People are posting shit from 20 years ago that they can barely remember. And, like KD said, if it's people who are regular, known members it is one thing. But, people are crawling out of the woodwork to post stories that are ridiculously long who have really no connection to GC.
And, I would like to take this opportunity to educate those who seem to be new to GC... This is place where you are free to talk about anything. And, if you do, I am allowed to laugh at it, parody it, or just bitch about it. Like y'all have mentioned -- if you don't like it, ignore it. You're no better than I am for coming in and adding your two cents.

Really? I see it as low train-wreck lately, but I haven't seen a lot of rainbow preaching either.
What threads are you reading?
I will admit that I'm of the if-you-don't-like-it-don't-read-it mindset and I think I always have been. If that make me Kitchen GC, that's cool. I wasn't on here when GC was cool, so I don't miss it.

Ouch. Really? I am so hurt.
Fuck off. (And, I mean that in the sweetest, most ladylike way.)

It's the general attitude of new members who think that GC is here for everyone to be nice. I have seen several comments from newer members.

You know, Tippie, I enjoy your shenanigans as much as anyone these days, seriously, but you do make the who gets banned and who doesn't policies really perplexing.
Why do you think you get away with this stuff?
ETA: Seriously, I'm not saying you SHOULD be banned; I'm just interested in how you keep doing it with impunity when others have fallen. What do you think? What's the TC magic?

Reason: an apostrophe to make a verb singular, error. I apologize for the hour it was there.

Could be because John has stated previously that FUCK is not a banned word on this site. And, I ask you what "stuff" you are referring to? Telling someone to "fuck off?" Starting threads that don't just go over smoothly? What EXACTLY is it you don't like?

Oh, it's not that I don't like it. It's pretty entertaining really.
I would characterize it as the kind of insulting provocation that seemed to get Rudy banned.
Do you suppose there's an entertainment to insult ratio that John considers, and Rudy just feel short on the entertainment?

First off, Rudey was a complete asshole who chose to insult people racially and liked to cross a line I would never even get close to. Second, I am not a mod or a super mod. You'd have to ask them.

Really? I thought he was an equal opportunity offender. I don't think I saw what immediately preceded his banning then.
ETA: Is there a thread I should look for?
