attn: old people

Many of us alums still have good friends , sisters, cousins, who are in sororities or going through rush! Just like your mothers and alumna who come in during rush wek and tell y'all pretty much who you have to take we are still interested in what is going on too. You will someday ne an alumna of the university, and I just bet that you will be on here checking on your old sorority and how they are stacking up! Don't lie! You know that you will!

We understand your curiosity, but the problem comes in when you ladies gang up on one particular sorority. If you look through the posts from the last several days you have been relentless! One sorority, one good sorority that we all have friends in, has been raked over the coals. It makes no sense why not one single other sorority is being held to such standards.

dont tell me actives and pnms are doing this! We know better.

Times are changing! Girls aren't focused on who has been here the longest. DDD is falling, Kappa is rising, KD and XO solid. It's not the 1980s anymore. Out of State is changing the tiers slowly each recruitment.

TriDelts are the known party girls now! Kappa is rising to the top and pledging great girls. They probably get to choose their own members unlike DDD.

I'm not "old", but I'm so embarrassed by your post. Hopefully, the rest of us won't be judged by the lack of respect you have shown to those who worked hard years before us. There's nothing wrong with alumni getting on these boards to see what's going on in the organizations they dedicated so much time to and that they are STILL a part of. You have shown a complete lack of maturity by posting such rude comments. One day, we will all be in their position and might have friends, children or grandchildren going through rush and would like to read about what's happening. However, I don't agree with the alumni trying to control membership. They sometimes go by rumors or social status in their communities that causes us to miss out on great girls, while being forced to accept girls only because of who they are. I guess I'm saying there is a balance. We should show respect and appreciation for their support and refrain from calling them "old".

OP is spot on. The old alums coming here to talk down on us and start drama are 100% pathetic. Yall are long out of college, it's time for you to move on.

You being here reminds me of the creepy old guy with the trans am who still hangs around his old high school. Or the former cheerleader who clings onto that one time she was on the prom court like 5 years ago. Or the ex-high school qb who won't stop talking about his glory days because he never did anything with his life afterwards.

It's really sad that you has-been alums have such empty lives that you have to come posting here and acting like big shot know it alls. It's time to let it go and move on.

I am NOT an old person, and I do agree that alums will probably be happier posting on GC than they will be posting here, where the majority of people posting are college age actives. I also agree that while they should definitely have the right to write recs and personal letters explaining why they believe certain PNMs would make awesome sisters of their group, that they should NOT have direct control over who gets a bid and who doesn't. It's our chapter now; send us your recs and then let US make the decision based on how WE feel about the girls.
But, at the same time, we need to show our alums some respect. Yes, their "glory days" are over, but they are just as valued sisters in their/our organizations as we are. A lot of them contribute lots of $, time, and man power to helping our chapters continue to be successful. A lot of them hold advisor/housing corp/expansion team/district/regional/national offices for our groups. Without the support of these women, it would be impossible for us to sustain our chapters' growth. So...while they may need to be "put in their place" for over stepping every once and a while, there's no reason to be so harsh with them. When we were initiated, we knew that we were taking our oath for LIFE. Not just until graduation day. They are still OUR SISTERS, no matter how old they are, just like actives in our chapters at MSU, Bama, LSU, UGA, etc are. Let's start treating them accordingly. We're better than this! Hotty Toddy!!

So-called "old-people" have just as much right to post on here as college-age people do. We have more wisdom to offer than those of you stuck in your little bubble in Oxford.
