[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All those who are condemning Greek life needs to check their hypocrisy. It’s really not much different from the process your daughter went through to get into UVA in the first place. She was judged on her intelligence and her well roundedness and possibly her ability to speak and present herself well.

Please stop with the hypocritical “I would never encourage my daughter to go through this process “, you already encouraged her to go through it when she applied to UVA.[/quote]

That is not entirely true. I was in a sorority and it is a bit more brutal. Looks, clothes, who their boyfriends are and what fraternity they are in . . . are absolutely taken into consideration during rush. Are those considerations for admissions to UVA?

I had an ok experience with my sorority but I cannot say that I'd recommend or support it for my daughter. And we'd have an open discussion of the negatives of the process and experience. Yes, there are some positives. But there are a WHOLE lot of negatives. And the emphasis on looks and things like that are one of the big ones. I almost had it out with an older "sister" who, when she described the girl she just took around one of the events, as "granola" as well as some other adjectives. Everything she described was not her (bottle blond, petite, blue eyes) and entirely had to do with looks. It was despicable. [/quote]
