[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can’t stand organized groups that exclude people.   It is s symptom of what is wrong in the US today.   We need more inclusion and less exclusion. [/quote]

It usually doesn't exclude totally though. Don't all girls end up with a bid somewhere? It might not be your first choice but that's life. No one is friends with everyone and you can't expect every person to like you and want to spend time with you.[/quote] [b]Actually, it does totally exclude some. [/b][/quote]

I'm sure you can find 2 or 3 individuals this applies to across every campus from one year to the next. And that is basically because in a group of 1600 young women, there are going to be 2 to 3 women who are just socially awkward to the point of making everyone uncomfortable or they say inappropriate things that make them stand out in a negative way. On smaller campuses, sometimes a girl's "mean girl" reputation or "drug user" reputation precedes her and scares women away from wanting that particular girl to represent their group. For example, those girls whose racist snapchat caused such an uproar in MCPS a few weeks ago likely would not be carried by any house past the first round b/c no one wants to touch that hot potato issue of having a member with that sort of negativity. Sometimes it is not as obvious as that and there is nothing "wrong" with a girl but she just happens to be "dropped" by all groups. (Maybe one group thinks she appears too stuck up for them so they strike first by not inviting her...but then the group they thought she would choose drops her too.) This happens. It really does. Because it's not as though all the groups get together and compare lists. But it is rare to be dropped by ALL groups.[/quote]
