Rumor Royalty Fesses Up to Poll Deletion

After much ado over a missing poll and any entries related to it, RR has posted the justification for the clean-up: Panhel. Yeah, it turns out that being part of Panhel gets you street cred with RR. The poll messed up the attempts to "equalize sorority rush." One commenter responds eloquently: "please. 'panhel made us?' lame."

Your thoughts, OTR readers? Was Panhel truly up in arms over this wannabe Purple Book fiasco, or is this just a way for RR to cover up its own drama?

EDIT: Oh, my b. Apparently the whole Panhel thing wasn't the justification. RR just felt like taking it down. Wait, really? There was a poll and entries relating to it that generated more interest in RR than anything previous, and you just felt like getting rid of it? Weird. Well, Panhel or personal justifications aside, the poll is still gone and people are still upset about it.

It was definitely a way to cover up it's own drama!

It's all about a Kappa writer promoting her house, while trashing the others, and this being exposed in the comments, point by point.

RR has deleted some of my comments on other blogs that had nothing to do with the sorority poll but was critical of RR or Kappa.

NOW they have Panhellenic spirit and bow to the will of Panhel? I don't buy it!

For over a year, they have said terrible things about the other houses and not Kappa, even when KKG didn't make quota of 36 but only got 28. RR said "better to have 28 hotties instead of 36 notties" ... gag...and they aren't hot!

What a lame excuse to cover up "Krappagate" Anyone who read the comments posted in the sorority poll knows what I'm talking about. Posted 05/31/2008 12:05 AMReply

OMG, it's ****ing written by Michael Kane. How do people not know this? That's all. Just a guy who's a DB. And the poll was taken down, as he says, because it was sent to college humor and it became skewed. Posted 06/01/2008 02:38 AMReply

Panhel didn't give a rat's ass about it. He wrote earlier that we were up in arms about it and that we discussed it at all of our last meeting. Please. It never even came up. Posted 06/03/2008 6:18 PMReply

Look at the good bye comments and you will see some writers giving others their "goodbye Kappa love". Maybe Rumor Royalty at NU is Panhell's bitch, but look at the sorority poll comments and you'll see why it was deleted and why they are censoring any posts and printing only the ones positive to the kkg writers. EVERY SORORITY HAS STRONGER AND WEAKER CHAPTERS. The kappa bloggers articles are obnoxious, just look at the "key parties" and what they say about the other houses.
STICK WITH OTR AND YOU'LL GET THE REAL INFORMATION, NOT WHAT IS BEING EDITED BY THE KAPPA WRITERS. DG you rule at USC, Theta you rule at UCLA, Pi Phi you rule at CU, XO, KD, AXO, GPB, ZTA you rule at a lot of schools also and Kappa is the worst at FSU = Kappa Kappa Krispie Kreme. They went off at 6 of my friend's school b/c of low membership and lack of desirability for women to join them. I appreciate all you ladies, no need to believe the NU RR bs that kkg is the top house, they are "Theta wannabes" and are scared shi*less, since kappa didn't come close to making quota.
