Just curious. GLOs have the prerogative to make this known. So why shouldn't they be up front with this type information? Other than the usual "membership selection is ritual, should not be public, blah blah blah", why would this be uncool and improper?

Oh, but it is.

I think it would be really shallow to blackball this girl because of your past experiences with her.

By creating new posts and "reasons" other than her alleged drinking and drug habits, from her being "psycho" and insinuating she is promiscuous, really demonstrates that you are out for revenge for her cheating with your boyfriend.

Honey, after you graduate, none of this will matter to you. But it may matter to a girl who may be rejected "simply" because one person had an issue with her.

Be the bigger person and let the chips fall where they may. Remember, adelphae is not just toward your chapter or organization's sisters; all women, greek and non-greek, are sisters and should be treated accordingly.

So you would never "blackball" anyone based on your experience with them? Basically, you have no opinion when it comes to who may join your organization? Oh, by the way, she never asked about black balling. The best she could do is send a no-rec letter.

You mis-read me.

I am saying that the original poster said that her reason was "not only" a personal vendetta. That says it all. If it was purely due to something measurable and unethical/immoral, then that is a different story.

Revenge is not endearing to one's character.

This is my opinion, and not a judgment.

It's still her right as someone who is a part of a selective org. to help "select" who is a part of it. Really, she doesn't even need to have a "reason" to no-rec this girl...it's what seperates us from the Friendship Club.

I would first question the integrity of the information. Personal vendetta is not an acceptable reason for rejecting anyone. That is the bottom line.

As far as would I want someone of questionable ethics and morals to join my organization? Again, it is not up to one person's "opinion". If a person were not up to par with our ideals, her character would surely show itself. I do not think that being "outed" before a person has a chance to prove themselves is fair.

So if what happened to sdsuchelle happened to you, and the girl rushed Gamma Sig, you would have no problem extending her a bid?

No-rec is one thing; sending an unsolicited vendetta letter is another.

KLP, Gamma Sigma Sigma is a non-selective organization. If a person wishes to learn and uphold our ideals, we will welcome that person with open arms. We do not extend "bids".

I think that's the problem then. NPC organizations do not operate in the same way and each organization has its own method for selecting members. Because it is an exclusive organization, if there is someone whom you think would not make a good member for your organization, I think that you are perfectly within your right to notify the chapter.

It's the difference between selective and non-selective orgs.

Because NPCs are selective orgs, we can no-rec someone if we don't like their shoes. (I don't know personally know anyone who's done that, but theoretically, it can happen.)
