I think it came from the post of Rudey's directly above it.

I've been wondering too... so I've copied it and sent it to Hadley (they guy's name at the bottom) to ask him if and when he posted this - cause quite frankly it doesn't seem to be in keeping with any of the emails I've gotten from him nor has he ever mentioned anything like that to me... besides I don't think I've ever seen him mispell things in even a semi-formal letter.

As for the plethora of half-truths and twisted remarks ment to insult me... well that seems to be in keeping with another member of my chapter who I've had serious disagreements with in the past.

Oh as for a reply to some of the "facts" or accusations in it:
Stanley Cup list at my cottage - nope cousin's cottage (ironically after they learned it didn't float earlier in the week)
Dating Alanis Morrisette - nope, unless drunken making out at a house party counts as "dating" these days (anyways it was back around her YTV pop days)
Working for CSIS - yes, if by working you mean summer student intern sifting through newspapers... not a fun job at all.
Top-Secret military involvement? - don't know anything about this - I've always been pretty forthcoming with my time in the military.
Working at Queens Park - wonder about this one as I only did it for a week; 5AM paper readings, highlight articles on Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, hand highlighted material to minister's department.. then go home and sleep
75th Dinner - can't be Hadley on this; as he was the one (among many) saying I'd get burned by the Alumni when they were handing out credit... but hey if any proof is needed I still have all the orginizational crap leading up to the dinner (which I had been flogging at meetings for oh 2 years).
Decreased Recruitment - average recruitment: 8 members; year I was rush chair: 25 members... now if only rentention was that high.
33 year old man - well most can check my profile and see that's not true (not far off but not true)
Year 12 of 3 year degree - no part-time student for 5 years (1 or 2 credits a year as I worked), fulltime for last 2 years - oh and UofT doesn't have a 3 year degree.
Sigma Pi - yep almost joined them, but quit pledging after serious disagreement with another 2 pledges... doesn't matter still good friends with rest of pledge class and alumni.
Crank Calls from chapter - will not discuss as it has been handled.

I'll be sure to let everyone know what Hadley thinks of the message....

Well it's either that or continue to let a certain poster use it as a weapon against me everytime he gets upset... and I'm beginning to get tired of it.

Besides by explaining/defending myself even a little - it pretty much shows how empty or twisted most of the comments are - regardless I'll be going to the source of the "original" post this week during Ritual.

Well, I grew up in a mostly white neighborhood, and you don't see me spouting off some of the stuff you say.

but i'm still wanting to see where i'm wanting to be black. i'm perplexed.

Perhaps because you are a member of a historically black fraternity and speak with great passion on issues that concern historically black fraternities (more so than some people on here who are black)?

I don't know man, I'm just speculating.

What I've learned from Greek Chat -

The one thing that I have learned from GC is that Shades of Grey do not exist on GC:


You are either Black or White - can't be anything else.

You are either a conservative republican or liberal democrat - you can't be a liberal republican or conservative democrat.

You are either honest and tell the truth about rush / recruitment - and get called a b*$ch, or blow smoke up someone's @$$.

You can either support someone and get called a __________ (insert person's screen name here) whore, or totally trash them hoping to get 'cool points'.

I think this sums it up pretty well.

Not Really, Only Certain People Think That Way!

So why take the Few at The Plurality?

Why not divulage some of The disparaging Idiots?



Self Importance does not become some of those that throw big stones!

Another thing I've learned..... It takes someone smarter than the average to understand most of what Tom Earp says....

And yet I don't think it would be GC without him. Haha.
