[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it sort of hilarious that DCUM loves asking about how to dress WASPy and what and what isn't classy, and how to appear upper class, but loses its mind when faced with the prospect of sorority recruitment because it's too white and too elitist. Ya'll better pull the mote out of your own eye.  [/quote]

The same people who like greek life as it is are the ones who want to look ''classy.''[/quote]

No.  People who are in sororities don't need to ask an anonymous message board how to dress, act, network or decorate.  Sororities do an excellent job providing this training. [/quote]

Awesome! More young women should be allowed into sororities, then. We could all use that training. [/quote]

Every NPC rush in the country guarantees a bid for every young woman who completes recruitment.  It may not be a bid to her first choice, but everyone gets a bid. Placement rates at even the most competitive campuses is over 90%.  Many of the people who don't get bids drop out early because they don't like the choices they have left. It's not that the sororities cut young women. It's that young women cut sororities because they had their heart set on a "top tier" sorority and didn't get invited back and weren't willing to accept a bid from a "lesser" sorority.   [/quote]

When sororities cut girls, it because they’re looking for a match. When a girl cuts a sorority, it’s because she’s a snob, is that what you’re saying? Because that’s what you’re saying.

Definitely not a two way street. Go through hell and be happy with the result, or you’re an ungrateful whiner. Nice organization you have there.[/quote]

It is absolutely a two way street. The houses rank girls, girls rank houses. Yeah that sounds bad but then the computer matches it all up and if they are not happy with their remaining choices, the girls drop out.    Anyone can get into a sorority (at most schools), IF you are open minded about the choices and give the houses that want them a chance. Yes there may be houses that the girls have left that they don't want. No harm no foul, they can drop out and try again during COB or next formal rush.

Those houses don't want them, they want any warm body willing to pay does[/quote]

This.

And COB is just a few spots and in just a few houses.  It’s also pretty hard to get excited about putting yourself out there again after such a painful week. And very few sophomores rush and there are only a few spots for them. This isn’t half as easy as they want it to sound.  But they like it this way. How are they supposed to feel the thrill of the hierarchy if there aren’t heart-broken girls at the end?  [/quote]

Not necessary true. At my DD's school, all houses but one did COB and there were more than a "few spots". [/quote]
