Oh no.

Rumor Royalty has already tried to “expose” Crunk Counseling, posting a misguided tip from a misguided reader. There is more than one person behind this and neither of us has dated some “rando Fiji dropout.” We don’t know the person accused of, well, being us, but we’re sure she’d rather not take the credit for something she didn’t do.

Doesn’t mean we don’t read Rumor Royalty as much as the next guy, but keep in mind its disclaimer: “Rumor Royalty is exactly what the name implies: rumors, not real news.”

And while we’re on the subject: we make no promises to be 100% factually accurate either. We’ve been around NU long enough to know that there are dozens of perspectives on every aspect of life here.

“1) When did RR become a credible NU news source? 2) How does this blog not pretend to be more biased than any of those sources? 3) Is being “biased, non-factual, Greek-centric” a bad thing? We don’t think so…”

Don’t worry, not here to steal RR’s thunder. The best part of Northwestern is there’s a spot for everything. We’re biased, you’re all biased, the Daily’s boring, etc. Not really into the gossip mill as much — not my forte, nor do I have the time or energy to keep up with all the news and drama. The best thing about the internet is the opportunity for everyone to have their say. So yeah — obviously exposure is nice, but I’m not trying to stir up drama or take over anyone’s mantle. I just feel like there’s more to say about Northwestern that doesn’t revolve around Greek life or anonymous, nick-named A-listers. Not that I don’t enjoy reading about them.

I’m not going to pretend like this is “just a blog for me,” more like this is a blog for whoever wants to read it. Seriously, I can’t do the bitchiness as well as others, so don’t expect that. I just got tired of reading things from other people’s perspective and never the non-Greek Northwestern experience.
