Our sororities literally start wars with the rest of greek life, I just want to try to change that so it's not so look down upon here. "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." I live by this and I just wanted some help, not to have irritated messages sent to me.

I really need to be warned when a person is looking for the unicorns pooping rainbows section of GC. Starting a question with something like "I'm looking for advice but only the kind that validates everything about me" would be helpful.

Also, I seriously hate when anyone starts a rebuttal with look. And while I'm at it, you may have a limited proficiency in English, but if there were any sororities literally starting wars, I'd have heard about it. It may feel like war. They may even want to start a war, but no literal war has occurred.

I'm with you.

(But do you have to be so rude?

) Honestly, I didn't see any rudeness coming from you, but then again, I'm just like the sorority women at all the other campuses. Do you want to start a war? Like, a literal one?

Perhaps we could start a new category for threads - Unicorns pooping rainbows.

DubaiSis you're right, you know all things greek about every campus in the country. You may not have a great grasp on the English language, but have you heard of a hyperbole? well that's where you slightly overexaggerate to make a point. It's ok if you don't understand that though, and by the way it's Thursday so it's not the weekend, but nice try though. Normal people don't start their weekends on Thursdays, but you do what you have to.

And that's the way you get people to want to help you.

Well, you're basically telling us that our orgs aren't good enough for you but you want us to help you write rules for your new org. How does that make sense?

I tried being nice, and people decided to bitch at me for wanting to do something. I asked a question and got no help with it, just people telling me why I shouldn't do it.

I have a group of 15 girls that want to start a sorority, but don't know where to start. Just thought I could get a little help

Here's the problem with what you're saying. You're coming here thinking that because you have a problem with the organizations of which we are proud members we're going to want to help you start something new?

DubaiSis · #24 10-06-2011, 11:40 AM

I was actually waiting for this one. Some people may have guessed based on my user name that I live in the Middle East (where we KNOW what war is). Our weekend is Friday and Saturday, so Thursday evening is the beginning of our weekend.

Literally is a word that automatically makes something NOT hyperbole. That's literally what it means - this is exactly and only the truth.

Their foundations a good, but it's not what it could be. I just want to help build greek life on my campus and give these girls a place where they feel safe. they're all leaving these organizations because they don't feel that family bond. I'm sorry you all don't agree, but I just wanted to try. All of your sororities were started from scratch, what's wrong with something like that happening now?

1. You're going to have the same women rushing, so there's not going to be a huge revolution if/when your organization starts.

2. If you're starting from scratch, then you shouldn't be using sorority templates. If everything about the current GLOs are bad, why would you try to emulate them when creating yours?

You are culturally ignorant. You are also a youngster who knows nothing about what "normal people" do, hence this thread.

Most importantly, she's an idiot. Idiots cannot do anything that is not idiotic.
