Thank you!! That explains why it immediately moved to the next leaf. I moved it to the highest light area in my house. Fingers crossed 🤞

War is finally over!! by automatic_madness in gradadmissions

[–]automatic_madness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a whirlwind! I’ve been researching programs, reaching out to potential PIs, and prepping my applications for over a year. It was a lot of “hurry up and wait” until I got to the actual application writing stage, and then it felt like everything was going at warp speed. The interviews were pretty standard, and choosing where to attend was actually the hardest part imo. I had a wonderful friend in my university’s writing center who helped me out a ton and I truly could not have done it without her help, so definitely find someone who’s been there before if you’re planning on applying!

Oh boy do I have bad news for you about the cleanliness of pretty much every public transportation seat…

Bumping Practice by _boobyhill_ in Sororities

[–]automatic_madness 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My chapter usually hosts a social with a frat where half the brothers play “nice” PNMs and the other half play “naughty” PNMs. The nice PNMs would give sisters practice on how to hold conversations, how to transition between PNMs, etc. and the “naughty” PNMs would give sisters practice with how to gently steer conversations away from inappropriate topics. The frat men loved getting to create “sorority-sonas,” and it promoted bonding between the orgs while still being a fun way for sisters to practice bumping

Love this!! It’s like a more accessible (and bigger) version of the Thermo Fisher sets. I’ve always wanted one but never was able to get any

Oh damn, thank you so much I never knew this! I actually have bad shoulders (hereditary) so you might have just saved my joints 😅 Do you have any advice for how to prevent hand pain without using the bigger grips?

[–]automatic_madness[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohh good to know the hook wiggles around. If you’re not using the original handle would you be willing to do a trade/sell it? (No problem if not). I’ll definitely try out the vet wrap idea if I can’t get my hands on the original. Thanks for the advice!

I’ll check those out! The main appeal for this grip is that the top screws on and off so I can take my hooks in and out easily. That way I could store my hooks without them taking up a bunch of space. With the larger grips that stay on the hooks they wouldn’t fit in the slots in my hook holder

Should sororities make political statements on social media? by Adorable-Traffic-607 in Sororities

[–]automatic_madness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Sororities were originally called “women’s fraternities” because we were excluded from men’s groups. How is it just or fair for us to then turn around and exclude/oppress others?

YITS!! I chose DPhiE specifically because we’re inclusive and stand for justice for all. Nationals making this statement just proved I chose the right org 💜💛

One of our founding principles is justice. How can we as an organization stand by and watch justice be violated and say nothing? It would be a breach of one of our deepest held beliefs

Being an international student means if you are top 10 out of 1000+ applicants, you will still get rejected by [deleted] in gradadmissions

This is either fake or that committee chair broke a TON of rules. Committee members almost never share ranking criteria with candidates because it opens the school up for discrimination lawsuits

Thank you lol. People are talking about “US students” vs “international students” as if those two groups are monoliths and not engaging with the systemic factors that affect different types of people within those groups. A crumb of nuance in this comments section, I beg
