I think we should take a shot each time the phrase "brutally honest" is used here

At one party I went to my freshman year at a frat (remember, I was not in a house my freshman year), i remember being upstairs. I was walking the halls of the frat house going into some of my guy friends rooms (that was where hard alcohol was/you did not have to wait in line for a beer). I was about to go back downstairs to meet with my other friends when one of the fraternity brothers ran down the hall yelling "CLOSE YOUR DOORS!!! CLOSE YOUR DOORS!!!! GAMMA IS HERE!!!!! CLOSE YOUR DOORS!!!!"

In my head I thought, "Man, why don't these guys like the Gamma sorority geeeeezzzzz?"

I finally figured out that they were not talking about a sorority

Ok, maybe it's the cold medicine muddling my brain, but I have no idea what this is talking about.

I wasn't lecturing, just giving her the heads up, and I probably should have just let it roll off my back. But I really like what aprocess is writing and didn't want her to take offense because she was truly trying to be "brutally honest" (pass the salt and a lime, please)

Now, I will sit back and anxiously await the end of the story!

I was kidding too. I know how it feels to be the President of the World. Things still don't happen they way you want them to happen.

Can't wait to hear the rest!

I will second that!

AFAIK, that would be Greeks Advocating the Mature Management of Alcohol (GAMMA) - AKA the Party Police.

BAHAHAHAHA! I have no idea what it means either but this almost made me wet my pants. I know that's TMI, but I wanted to be "brutally honest." Tee hee.

She's new. This recruitment story may very well be the first GC thread she's read.

She's entitled to her lecture just like you're entitled to yours.

This is not the first recruitment story I have read. This is the first time I have registered and posted an opinion.
I find it interesting that you feel that I was lecturing her. I was expressing my opinion as to how when one thinks of diversity it's usually about personality and not always about looks. If we are being really honest than how diverse is a caucasian house. I think it's hypocritical to say that an all white house is more diverse than an asian house. Do not put words in my mouth.
There was no need to be hostile and condescending. I stated that I understood where she was coming from but found it a little off putting that because it's an asian house that it's not diverse.

I never took that comment to be rude, just as an observation. I have seen similar occurences in other chapters too.
