[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorority girls are the ultimate “pick me” girls.   :roll: [/quote]

NP who was not in a sorority and did not rush: What’s wrong with wanting to be picked, for a part in a play, or a spot on the basketball team, or a sorority house, or a job, or to have your novel published, or to find a romantic partner, or to come on down for “The Price is Right”? [/quote]

Because being picked for a part in a play, a spot on the baseball team or to have your novel published, or a job, etc is typically based on your skillset for that position/job.  But the skillset for a sorority/fraternity is your pedigree, how you dress, your family connections, many superficial characteristics.  It's just a continuation of being in the "popular crowd" in MS/HS.   [/quote]

That's how I saw it as well.  [/quote]

…and?

And why not leave them to it? That’s not my type, but glad there’s an “outlet” for people who roll that way. Better to have college kids who are deeply invested in that kind of scene to have literally a system to be in. And then because that will take up a lot of their time and energy, that frees up other spaces and opportunities for students who want to pursue different things.

Live and let live. I’m really not sure why that’s such a hard concept for people. A lot of things don’t sound appealing to me—snorkeling, clubbing, fishing, reality TV, tennis—but I understand that people enjoy those things, and good for them. I don’t need anyone to “make it sound appealing to me,” as if I personally need to validate what other people value and how they should spend their time and energy. [/quote]
