Classy members

[TriDelta alum]

After reading through recruitment stories for a couple of years now, there are two Greekchat members whom I have come to immensely respect. Here's to you FSUZTA and ELLEBUD. Perhaps it's because you have daughters who have recently gone through recruitment (on both sides) and you understand the mindset and emotions of 18 and 19 year old young women (women this age are NOT always reasonable and put together!) Both of you show maturity and class that is often severely lacking with other frequent posters at this site (uh ummm 33girl, VandalSquirrel) Ladies, let's remember YOU are adults.

QFP

Wow. What a bitch.

[33girl]

This is the same stupid heifer that called one of her own sorority's chapters weak and couldn't wait to call out another chapter.

Honey, if you think your actions have been the least bit "classy" you must have a different dictionary than the rest of us.

Seriously? You seriously needed to post this?

I'm going to ask, at this point, if you want to bash certain members of this forum, kindly keep my sister's name out of your proverbial mouth.

Posting a backhanded slam thread is certainly not adult behavior, is it?

Shut up, bitch.

However, it's cool that this bitch was blatant instead of being passive aggressive.

I have the greatest respect for both ellebud, FSUZeta, 33girl and VandalSquirrel. But the irony of this thread is epic.

Pot, I'd like to introduce you to Kettle.

This couldn't have been done in a PM? While I agree that FSUZeta and Elle give great advice, so do a lot of others, including 33girl and VS. To post something like this... I have no words besides -

"Well, bless your heart!"

Co-sign on all points.

If one could die of irony, the OP should start getting her affairs in order.

To be completley honest, posting compliments to one or two people in a thread where you're also bashing one or two people doesn't just reflect poorly on the OP - unfortunately, if this thread wrecks itself further posters may just start associating FSUZeta and ellebud with it, something I'm sure they wouldn't want and something that really shouldn't happen.

I really don't understand why people don't realize that while we're constantly reminded that we're a reflection of ourselves and our organizations, that when we post anyone's name we're also a reflection of that person (who we choose, either passively or actively, to associate with).

Like, I can't say "OMG I LOVE MYSTICCAT AND IRISHLAKE BUT THAT TRIDELTA ALUM IS A REALLY BIG JERKHOLE AND CERTAINLY DOESN'T ACT LIKE AN ADULT," start a train-wreck thread about it, and think that that's not reflecting somewhat poorly on MysticCat and IrishLake (names used for relative proximity to this post - all image damage is therefore unintentional and incidental).

Just food for thought, really. I mean, my online username persona can go to hell for all I care but I'd rather not take others down with me (certainly not those whose posts I enjoy reading).

ETA: It's threads like this that make me REALLY miss nittanyalum a whole heck of a lot more than normal.

I disagree. As far I am concerned, it only reflects on the OP. It doesn't even reflect on the organization the OP claims to be a member of.

This is the most clever shit I've read in weeks!

Yup.

[ColdInCanada11]

Besides being completely immature and out of line, how is this in anyway "Recruitment" related??

[APhi4Ever]

I don't post much but this thread should just be closed or moved IMO.

Because we have to be mindful of what we say when talking to other adults!
