I liked it. I can't say for certain, coming from a small school, but from what I hear from my sisters who went to big schools, everything they talked about was spot-on. And maybe this is what separates me from the masses, but I think a healthy dose of cynicism can be beneficial. I say this knowing almost for certain that many of my chapter sisters and I wouldn't have made it past first set in any house at most big schools. If any of us had gotten bids, we definitely would never have been Kappas. I can tell just by the looks on the faces of sisters from other schools. I can tell by the reaction that I got the first time I wore my letters while taking summer classes at a Big 10 school where Kappa's a top house. It was like we found a back door into our group, which can be something wonderful. So really, I just have the cynicism and the love, and they coexist, and I think I'm better off for it. I will encourage any daughter of mine, should I have children, to rush. If she goes to a school where Kappa is I'll make sure she's got her legacy letter and I'll hope beyond hope she likes Kappa and they like her. But I'm sure as hell going to teach her that rushing isn't all sunshine and puppies. And at least she'll be a little better prepared.
My potentially unpopular 2 cents.
