I mean ... they are 19. What do you want from them?
Many are only 17 and 18. Lots of schools do rush before the fall semester.
But it’s telling that they keep saying it’s ok for the houses to pick the girls, but it’s not okay for the girls to pick the houses. According to them, the houses are always right when they pick a girl, but the girls are just bratty if they dare to have preferences.

At my school, members of black fraternities were literally branded. So...People's definition of toxic behavior may differ.

Fake news.
You’ve obviously not lived in Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Nevada, Virginia, New York, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. You should get out more. Cultures are different.
NP here. I am from Virginia and went to school in North Carolina. I don't know what women who grew up in the south but either your lying or know hardly anyone. Gossiping stereotypes is gross. Do better.
We just almost elected as president a woman who fits the "constantly mentions her sorority 30+ years later" stereotype pretty much to a t, and you're going to slander PP for saying it's a real thing based on your narrow experience at Chapel Hill?

When I graduated from the southern flagship that all my family attended, and was packing up to get out of there asap, a good friend of my mother's insisted on taking me out to lunch to give me some important advice: "as soon as you get where you're going, first join the local church and then join your sorority alum chapter.".
Believe it or not.
Whether those sorority alums still have the ability to impact impact rush and pledge selection today, I have no idea. My best guess is absolutely. At least at my flagship. Greek life is not a homogenous culture.
I keep hoping someone here will give some insider insight on Indiana. How many young women rush? What percentage are in-state How many go through rush? How many spots are there? Do some rushers get no bids? If so, how many? Thanks in advance. I really did try to Google it.
