this is why "tent talk" (or gossip) is so wrong

by: Senior   

Typical scenario: Three very good friends going through rush. On pref day...
-- one will have all three of her fav choices left,
-- the second friend has two choices left,
-- and the third friend has one choice remaining.

If y'all join in the tent talk -- one of your best friends may wonder if she is making a mistake by accepting a bid. She may question herself and wonder if you will think less of her. This will hurt your longtime friendship. It will be too late to take back your gossip.

Think of your friends starting today. You will not all end up in the same sorority. Know this now -- we are all amazing at Bama. Roll tide.

And you want your friendship to remain despite the relative randomness of recruitment and Greek affiliation.

Agree with this. I had a roommate who was a super legacy in an old row sorority and a roommate who went a "lower" house. Roommate A regularly said some really terrible things during/after rush to her about her sorority and I don't think Roommate B ever felt comfortable around her

What is sad is that roommate A was prolly no stronger of a pnm. Just different connections. Sad. Immature.

In the beginning its too easy to fall in love with some houses and think less of others. It's natural.

We can't all be in the same house.

Approx. 100-120 women (or possibly a few more this year) will pledge each chapter.

Respect your roommates and friends enough to keep talk positive about every house.

This is a good thread. But it is even more than respecting your friends and roommates. It is genuinely understanding that no house is inherently superior than another. If you truly reach that level of understanding there is nothing to be awkward or uncomfortable or even careful about. You won't insult or give off any signals because you know that there is no substantive difference. Just different houses work out for different girls because we are all unique.

Hey PNMs, This site is blowing up with tent talk right now as it gets so much closer to rush.

Folks are just amusing themselves with outrageous posts.

Many of your friends will be in different sororities.

Most tent talk is flat-out lies. I've heard the most amazing things, and none of it anywhere near the truth.
when under a tent, don't believe anything of what you hear.

Under a tent ------ on Greek Rank ------ it doesn't matter. Unless you see something for yourself it's probably based on bias and gossip.

Tent talk example:
GR recent posts suggesting PNMs "drop" certain chapters to have a better rush with other chapters -- is a flat out lie

Exactl. That is a perfect example... "My friend told me..." Just don't. Gossip is never good and be ready because it flies all over and is always wrong.

Tent talk example:
Chapter (fill in name) is irrelevant.

NONE of the NPC sororities here are this. And that word is always a lie here on GR and tent talk
