I agree -
"I was rushed"
"She is rushing"
"Are you going to rush?"
Just sounds more fun - I heard a reason why they went with "recruitment" (I think it was because, or the rumor was that the greek system was going down - so instead of girls "rushing" to join a sorority - it is now the sororities "recruiting" the girls) but I don't like it, sounds like the army - Also, it's not just that
Now -"perspective new members" (pnm) Then - "rushee"
Now -"released" Then - "cut" (actually I don't mind that change so much)
Now -"alpha or phi or new member" Then - pledge
Now -"6 to 8 week pledgeship" Then - "one semester"
Now - New Member Educator (or Coordinator) Then Pledge Mom
I don't know all of this seems to take the social out of "social philinthropic organization" But the times they are a-changin.
Edited to add - So, there is no misunderstanding - I will follow the leader as far as this goes and I am aware that panhellenic voted on alot of these things or that my individual sorority voted on these changes but I have always questioned authority before agreeing to jump on the bandwagon - so there it is.
