It's only fair for me to add that I don't have a problem with using new terminology -- only when something is forced on us when there is nothing wrong with the orignial terms except someone, or some groups misinterpretation of them.

We use both rush and recruit. We still use pledge.

It appears to me (I will stand corrected if I'm wrong) that this use of language is more of an issue with sororities than fraternities.

Of course maybe we're just more stubborn.
