Congratulations, UWO!!! I'm so glad you found the right place for you and Gamma Phi is lucky to have you!

Wow, I've only kept up on 3 recruitment threads so far and they've all resulted in membership at Gamma Phi Beta! Congrats to all!

I use Photobucket: www.photobucket.com
Open up a free account, then upload the picture.
Once the photo is uploaded, go to where it is located at the bottom of the page.
Copy what is in the Direct Link Field.

Go back to GC and start a post.
Click on the Insert Image Icon (yellow square that looks like it contains a mountain).
Delete the http://
Paste your link that you copied from Photobucket, and the image should appear

Good God, woman, do you EVER give up?!

Sure, there will be plenty of 18-year-olds, but there will also be a decent amount of upperclassmen and juniors rushing, both transfer students and non-transfers, and it's not out of the ordinary for these students to be older than is traditional for students to be. I rushed at Madison, the biggest and most traditional Greek system in the state, and my pledge class was still almost half sophomores with a smattering of juniors.

I really wish people would not try to speak for campuses where they aren't familiar with the Greek system.
WORD. I still remember how women on GC acted when I was going through recruitment - PMing me threatening to turn my new chapter in for violating the Green Book is the best example. My pledge class was all sophomores except 1, and the pledge class after that was all juniors. It's not unusual at the smaller state schools for chapters to be very upperclassmen-heavy.

Anyway, UWO, welcome to Gamma Phi! A sister from my chapter transferred to there a few years ago, although I am not sure if she's active anymore.

This thread is prime example of the fact that EVERY campus is different! What is unheard of at some schools, is the norm at another.

What kind of violations did they think were happening?

Disclaimer to all nosy busybodies: my chapter does not do this anymore, so turning us in will make you look stupid, and there are no other NPC sororities on this campus, so your sorority was not being hurt by this behavior.

For several years when our chapter was in a numbers slump, we had men (generally the big men on campus types, student body president, etc.) of the (then) most popular fraternity on campus dress up in black suits and come to the dorm or apartment of the woman who was invited to preference to escort her to the preference ceremony, which was held at the home of a university official whose wife is an alumna.

I know, this is simply egregious.
