wow the hatin in here is really getting way out of hand. Like sure maybe some of us were a tad mean to the sigmas sometimes, but hey its a message board where we can vent and say what we feel and if thats how we feel then well whatever. still, the people who are preaching the "stop making fun of the sigmas" are just as guilty! they are hating on all who dared say, "i don't like them." seriously, the way some of you talk, you think you were a part of their group. But your being just as bad by then going and making fun of all the other GCers who happen to not agree with the show. Not everyone has the same opinion and you can't force your opinion on someone else. None of the people criticizing the show were forcing other people to think they same, they were just posting venting out whatever feelings they had while you guys are like telling us what to think. Basically, everyone here has done wrong and WHY CAN"T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG??

Aren't those of you bashing the GCers for bashing the MTV girls doing the same thing that you are so adamently against?
Think about it.
What the Sigmas girls have done obviously wasn't a good idea, but the made their ebds now they have to lie in it. Hopefully we won't make the same mistake they did. While they may portray and image of greek life that we despise and that we are trying so hard to get rid of, sitting here and bitching about it isn't going to do anything. All we can do is hold ourselves and our organizations to a higher standard. It is up to all greeks to show the greek life is not like this at all.

Pi Phi Love and Mine,

Emily

Umm...let's not compare the Sigmas to Charles Manson and the terrorists.

What i find funny is that the ones who are bashing the show the most are the ones GLUED to thei TVs whenever it's on.

And I totally disagree with you and others on the believing in TV issue -- did you see the "Rosie Special - For the Kids" where Rosie O'Donnell came out as a lesbian?? Do you believe THAT was real? Or did she just do it for the cameras? WE all watch TV and believe AT LEAST SOME PART of things we see. Otherwise, we wouldn't believe that there is a WAR going on right now. Did you see the Daniel Pearl tapes where the captors had him and in the next scene he was dead?? Do you NOT believe that those people killed him? I mean come on, we ARE after all, only seeing ONE side of the story. According to your reasoning, we should just as likely assume that Daniel Pearl killed some of their men while off camera!!

Listen to yourself! Likening "Sorority Life" to a news report or a tape made by terrorists is just plain ludicrous! There's a HUGE difference between the Daniel Pearl tapes and silly show on MTV. I maintain that if a person does not have the intelligence to realize that not everything on TV, most especially MTV, is real, you wouldn't want them in your organization.

Give the PNMs a little more credit. If they're smart enough to get into college, they're smart enough to know that they should take "Sorority Life" with a rather large grain of salt.

Can't we agree to disagree? Seriously, we're beating a dead horse....

Ain't that the truth!

I THINK I get the point you are trying to make when you say this. Unfortunatley it was sort of over shadowed by the masses of paragraphs before and after. I am not the one on here bashing Sigma til I am blue in the face. Nor am I being catty just for the sake of being catty...oops, "venting."

Lady Pi Phi, I thought that was a very interesting point. However, I think as far as my posts go...I have been more about trying to suggest solutions and damage control than bashing anyone. Unfortunately that has gone largely ignored in the face of more "entertaining" posts.

P.S. Some of the analogies I have read have been just plain ridicuolous. Sigh.

haha - thanks . . . but have you ever known me to misspell words very frequently, dude? That was a reference to this:

I thought the irony was beautiful, so I, like, totally tried to carry it on, and stuff . . . I'm sure others will appreciate the correction though - that might be the most misspelled word here on Greekchat, so no offense intended to you directly, phisigsigchic.

phisigsigchic · #85 08-07-2002, 01:10 PM

uh gee i didn't know some GCers worked as spell checks. ever heard that when one is typing fast, mistakes are made? Geez....
As for everyone else, blaire is right, we are beating a dead horse. All of you sigma lovers out there have to stop being "CATTY" about the people who don't like sigma and the people who don't like sigma, we could go and vent through private messages instead. Cuz damn this is getting way to much outta hand already.

shadokat · #86 08-07-2002, 02:07 PM

KSig,

I got your joke, which helped with mine

phisigchic, no offense, but it was only a joke dear

Darn, I thought this was a message board in which one could post their thoughts whether it bashing, giving pity, or recognizing the irony/contradiction/hypocrisy of others.

I think you should take your own advice and lay off the sarcasm yourself. YOU wouldn't want the Tri-P's to come after you for not allowing "poor AXO Alum" to state her thoughts and defend her right to belittle others over and over again.

If they didn't watch it they wouldn't have anything to complain about and therefore nothing to do with themselves.

ChiDeltJen - you say using "chick" is a Sacramento thing, and that you call EVERYONE "chick" -- how do your female professors like that? I mean surely you must say in your classes with female professors "Excuse me CHICK, but could you explain that theory to me?" I just wondered how that went over with them. And if that's the case, I guess that its perfectly alright for me to call people "Retardos" if I just tell them afterward that that's what I call EVERYBODY and its a Southern thing. BUT - on the other hand, if I call out people who have totally SCREWED up with something in a VERY public manner, then it ISN'T okay?? Hmmm - perhaps you could explain this logic to me. OH, RIGHT - I just figured it out....I don't AGREE with you so therefore it is OKAY for you to say what you want, but obviously NOT okay for me -- now I'm getting it. Thanks for clarifying!

If anyone is beating a dead horse... good lord, stick to the topic at hand and get over it. I am.

And for the record, yes my sisterhood IS so awesome and I am VERY proud of that -- BUT, wow, imagine this....not EVERY school is PRO-GREEK -- dang - go figure. Now how can that be? Which means that EVERY org on campus works three times as hard to get women to join. Not that none of us are worth anything, but that you can't recruit people who aren't there!!

Haven't we all had to work three times as hard to get new recruits? Even before the show started? I mean we sit and complain about this silly show when new members close to home are OD'ing on alcohol. I would assume that would have a greater affect on greek life than "Sorority Life." And if you are proud of your organization like I am, then stop telling everyone on GC that you are proud. Go out and show it.
I really don't appreciate the Charlie Manson comparisons. talk about a snowball argument. But alas you are entitled to your opinions and I am entitled to mine. In no way do I disrespect them, I just think you are missing the big picture. The show has been filmed. It's on TV, girls and guys are watching it. There is really nothing you can do. Just do what you always do. Go on living your life because Sorority Life isn't going away. Sitting here and having a bad attitude about the sigma anit-bashers isn't going to help you.

Geez... I go to sleep and the thread gets twenty more posts.

I'll will sign off on this thought: Ever realize that when you are kicking someone when they are down, you are actually just kicking your own ass?
