[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in college and rushed a sorority, only the girls who got bids went to the bid ceremony, if you didn't get a bid, your Rho Chi (rush counselor) came to your dorm/apartment and told you personally.

+1  Same.  There was no public shaming like the empty bag thing.  No way would I have opted to be a part of something like that.  Greek life varies so much by region, school, and individual chapter.  And over time, even the chapters change.[/quote]

I went to UVa and it wasn't ceremonial, but you got your bids at a meeting with a bunch of girls in your same dorm, so everyone knew immediately who got in and who didn't.  It was not fun.  It was even less fun because they drew it out over a series of weeks, so that each week you got "cut" from a number of sororities, until either you got in somewhere or got cut completely.  [/quote]

that is HORRIBLE!! I am so stunned that this is still allowed in an era and time where we are tiptoeing around every issue from skin color to the lesbian/gay community, etc....and we allow THIS? Shameful! I cannot even imagine a young girl away from home having to deal with being shunned like that...and a boy too who in some ways has it harder as he has act tough and like it does not matter but it so does. Shocked! Glad I went to a school that did away with that long ago.[/quote]
