I tried ya'll
I really did
To convince someone they can't run from their Greek past or create a new Greek present by going somewhere else. Has anyone ever experienced the Greek Tsunami where something you did in this world followed you around ever present always waiting to get cha?

Well I know some folks that have tried to clean up their act since undergrad. Then, I also know some people that got rejected a million times in undergrad, and went Grad several years later. I actually felt bad for one soror. Anyway, that's about it.

I am watching this train and I know its going to wreck real soon. But someone I know was a tragedy in their Greek origin, HOWEVER has now relocated and thinks no one is going to know or care. I just don't think its about to be that simple.

If its bad news, gossip, or another means of discussing a terrible paste, mistake, etc. .it will continue to be a conversation piece,despite the effort of relocation.

Can you give a little infomation regarding this possible train wreck or is it just a little to sensitive to discuss?

Yeah, I've known people that got rejected while in undergrad and then went grad and tried to act all whatever, not telling the truth on why they were rejected, and I'm just like that is sooooo interesting to me.

I can say the following; you can't always run from your past.

True, 6 degrees of seperation is so for real.

The Greek world is to small (especially with the internet) for someone to try to run from their past issues, mistakes, etc. There is always someone who knows someone, that will tell your ish. I had a soror move here, and received several emails about her, before she even met me. I was like...WOW..can I meet her first? Dang...LOL!

How do you all think a "train wreck" proceed in Greek life? Be honest about the situation? ("Girl, yeah, I f*cked up in college, but that's over and done with now"), be vague ("Huh? I didn't pledge in college. It just wasn't my time"), or get defensive ( "Why you askin' me that? That is PERSONAL!"). And in what way should the person's mistakes affect the way they represent their organization?
Would it be better for people who make serious mistakes to forgo pursuing membership?

I think and continue to think honesty is always best. First off people are what 18, 19 or something of the like when they pledge. Second off people get way too power hungry in this piece because we have something they want. Third off these people once your letters are attained can't do ISH but bump about ISH thats old. What bothers me is people who don't realize this, don't protect themselves properly therefore setting the stage for "Oops I did it again" because as someone stated in the information age emails fly about someone before they even get off the plane. So saying the following:
Well this is what happened, that ish is old, I don't care and neither should you.
Will save you alot of unecessary BS in the future. Cause AGAIN GREEKS SMELL FEAR and when the SMELL FEAR they pounce like a animals.

Nope, not true.......... I needed a break from super sensitive people, intolerant people (the constant insinuation that if you are in favor of pledging you are some sort of brainless neanderthal) the high minded preaching and other jackassery in general.

I think the degrees of separation in Greek Life are more like 2 or 3, not six.

This actually happened to someone I met through a mutual friend. She started off at a university out of area (still in same state) then relocated to my UG her sophmore year. She said reason she moved is because she gained a bad rep at the school...I didn't really know what that mean but later found out. She would jump from org to org member to member seeking attention. The first one at all the greeks parties all boo'd up with one member and then his LB the next song. She would tell our mutual friend that so and so said he can get me on the next XYZ line. When it came time for rush she was advised not to attend because her reputation was less than stellar. So she decided that she wanted to be apart of another org. To this day she still has not graduated or gained entrance to any org.

Aspirants now have it so much worse than we ever did. Whereas word of mouth was dangerous, social networking is FATAL. y'all have no chances of burying your past these days. That said, I'm glad that things are more "public" now.
