Maybe/maybe not.

As for the actual topic, some people consider this to be a potentially important issue and some people do not. Simple as that.

I'm not sure anyone thinks it's an unimportant topic. I'm still waiting for someone to even say that what this lady did is against any rules. Multiple pages in and that hasn't even been concretely addressed.

I'll withhold my shock and outrage until that little issue is put to bed.

That said, your post here, as to my proposal re: Coke v. Pepsi is Exhibit A. This post is Exhibit B.

Some people definitely think it is unimportant. That's their opinion and that is absolutely fine.

We would not know that. That is why the OP, not GCers, is the one who decides whether to take the next steps.

You're right!

I don't even understand the Coke v. Pepsi debate because they are completely different. Coke is magical and amazing and delicious and addictive and Pepsi is the nastiest thing out there. Don't even get me started on taste tests, what kind of jacked up taste buds do you have that you can't taste the difference?? I can smell the difference from 15 feet away.

(except seriously Pepsi is no comparison)

Cosign. Pepsi tastes like poison.

Also Coke is the nectar of the gods.

Hey, hey, slow your roll. I, in fact, hold the record for "nastiest thing out there" and don't you ever forget it.

As to the OP, let this go. You've got (hopefully) far more inportant things to be concentrating on.

As your Diet counterpart, I stole your title years ago, buddy!

Quit stealing my thunder.

For the win! I remember drinking MD once as a child because my we were at KFC, and I asked for Sprite...yeah, it's not Sprite.

P.S. The water and tea comments made me chuckle.

More on topic, I am the queen of CallingPeopleOutOnTheirShitBecauseICan'tStandItWhe nPeopleGetAwayWithLying/BreakingRules/BeingRude-ica so my first impulse would be to be all "take her down!" but the little bit of rational in my head says "stfu this would be literally none of your business and you'd end up as That Guy". If I was friends with any people in her NPHC sorority who had nothing to do with the school (like physically distant high school friends) I might bring it up casually with them? With vagueness/details depending on how close I was with her.

So ... your first reaction would be to train-wreck the situation, but only if it couldn't be traced back directly to you?

That ... sucks.

What? No, I meant that my first reaction would be to do something drastic about it but the smart part of my brain would rule that out. I meant "queen of CallingPeopleOutOnTheirShitBecauseICan'tStandItWhe nPeopleGetAwayWithLying/BreakingRules/BeingRude-ica" as a negative trait that gets me in trouble on a semi-regular basis, not like something I'm proud of.

If I still felt like I couldn't just sit there and do absolutely nothing, I might mention it to a friend in that group, if I had a friend in that group. A few girls from my high school "circle" joined NPHC groups and we keep in touch. With one of the girls I'm close to I might just come out and say "our Greek life director is a whatever, but she joined an NPC before she joined y'all. It's kind of freaking me out, since NPC is so adamant on no cross-initiation. Am I just being weird about this?" and she'd probably either go a.) "Oh, I can't talk about that," b.) "Uh, wtf? That's not okay," or c.) "Yeah you are, that's fine by us" and I'd move on. If it was a group with a friend that I was less close/open with, I might start a conversation just generally on the topic since for us it's pretty common to discuss the differences conferences/groups. Maybe that's unusual, but most of the girls I know who went Greek all keep in touch still. This would still be snooping around and would probably still get me on people's shit lists, but hey, it's a trait I'm working on.

^^so KSig is right: youre recommending the OP be a shit starter. The more I read the more I say she should stay out of it. It just sucks bc she feels strongly about the situation and will never get any resolve.

I'm betting there are other cases like this and the world still turned.
