How did you meet GC?

Hey Guys,
Long time no post! I know. But I'm here now with a question inspired by a conversation I was having with James. Appanatly a similar thread was started eons ago (i.e. at least a year ago if not more), but I searched and searched (I could hear AXO_alum singing the 'do a search' song), and I couldn't find it. So, I figured I'd start the thread over again. And seeing as how there are a ton of new people here since I last posted, I thought it was a good idea to find out how we all came to meet.

How did all of you find Greekchat?

I was around way back in the GreekSource days of years gone by. I fell off that planet and found myself years later, bored at work, surfing the net for anything greek to check out, and Greekchat somehow popped up. I believe that maybe 'greekchat' was a link that was a part of the original greeksource sight. But don't quote me on that. I'm pretty sure i just typed in greekchat sandwhiched by www. and .com and up pops this site (which looked different when I first signed on but looks much better now). The rest, shall we say, is GC history.

What's your story?

I was on GreekSource back in the day when I was first thinking of starting a Fraternity Chapter . . . And Duncan's Greek Pages mcrae.ca/greek .

So one day, poof, Greeksource.com was gone . .. and then I randomy typed Greeksource.com again and here I landed.

I think there was maybe one post or two lol.

The rest as they say, after 156955 posts since, is history.

But its built into a great community.

I searched sorority or greek life or something similar. Anyway, once I sifted through the porn

, I found my way here. Now that I have read the previous posts, greeksource sounds familiar. This is the first site that I joined, and I have never been a part of a chat room or message board so this is relatively new to me. It's pretty interesting to see how things work at different schools and in different parts of the country. Greeklife at my school was fairly new when I was there so I never heard of many of these fraternities and sororities.

I was introduced to GC through my national sorority. There is a link on our national website to our forum on here. I started checking out the other forums and gradually I started to post in the general forums more than I did my sorority's forum. And as all the old people know...I've been through about 18 different usernames since I kept forgetting my password.

I love this place!!!!!!!!

A couple beers, a lame line, a few games of pool and some cheesy jokes, and me and greekchat done been together ever since . . .

I think I was social chair, looking for mixer ideas, and came upon this. While not a lot of help in that way, well I stayed around so you all must be pretty cool huh?

Much the same as Rob, I think a few drinks showed me the way....

Actually, I think that there were some issues going on with Kappa Sig, and Rob pointed me towards this page as a place where undergrads were talking about it. I started out in the Kappa Sig forum, then ended up exploring all the other forums. A couple hundred posts later, here I am.

I wanted to chat with other Greeks, so I simply did a search on "greek chat" and well, up popped Greekchat.com as the first find. I did a search using the most perfect words.
