If the semantics don't matter then how is being PC watering down the Greek experience? I am PC because I hope to work in student affairs where referring to a residence hall as a dorm is quickly reprimanded (more than I ever was letting 'pledge' slip). Like I said previously, the words don't matter all that much, but I am going to try to follow whatever the governing bodies and my nationals go with because they govern me as a sorority member. I do feel that more time should be spent focusing on what the chapters do instead of how things are said.
Just my opinion.

Because the terms rush, pledge etc ARE part of the fun traditions of a GLO. Following your logic, we should all just be members instead of brothers and sisters because what does it matter what we call each other, anyway.
And as I've stated before, what happens has NOT changed with the change of terms, especially where rush is concerned. I wouldn't mind calling it "recruitment" if it really was, but it's not.
