Haha, kicking ass and taking pins.
The bid promising thing really irks me too, especially when it's not said "outright" but said in every other way.
Another rush pet peeve is the lack of honest information the girls can recieve because of talking Panhellenically. We had a group on campus (widely considered the best) that had an unfortunate situation earlier in the year and were put on social probation for the entire year (pledging mixers were OK, sisterhood events, no go). And my PX partner and I told the girls straight up about it, and what had ACTUALLY happened, so that they didn't have to hear it from the anti-greek grapevine. A couple of people thought that I shouldn't have told them that, because it could be seen as discouraging. Nope, not discouraging, just telling the truth. I hate the rumor mills, and since I had sat on the governance board for that infraction and I work for the paper, I knew what was up FOR REAL...so I let them know as much as I could let them without breaking confidentiality. That chapter still took quota and then some, and they're still a fabulous chapter.
