The whole process is superficial, but it's what we have. I feel like every PNM should be critical about each group they see and the process they're going through to find that group - this is a group you're about to commit yourself to for life!

I also thought that Anonymous was pretty entertaining... I know that her (Inter?)National Office probably wasn't happy about her talking about information that's typically considered ritual, but it was kind of nice to hear someone say the things that we all know are true about the sorority side of recruitment...
You know this is why I sometimes question the concept of "dry rush". Because while it's important to not get people who just want to party....as a member of exec in my chapter I really wish we knew in advance how each pledge would act under the influence of a party atmosphere....are they going to be creepy date rapists? will they start fights and shit talk other houses and cause rivalries?

Then again I also understand the reasoning for dry rush...

wait a minute....what on earth does what I just said have to do with this topic?
