The whole process makes me cringe.  Why not just make friends with the other people in your dorms and/or classes?  I've never understood the need to be "selected" or "worthy" of someone's friendship.  Yuck.[/quote]

It's really shameful.  I think the Ivies did away with them a long time ago, and everyone else should have by now.  It's the worst kind of elitism and the very worst of the high school cliques made official.  I dropped out of rush as soon as I saw what it was all about (and because my parents said a sorority was too expensive anyway), and was so disappointed that all my new friends kept going and eventually joined different sororities. We had a great group of friends, but after that everyone went their separate ways, since sororities discouraged friendship outside the house.  None of them ever spoke to me again.  It was a miserable four years, so needless to say I am not well-disposed toward the Greek system.[/quote]
