It seems that there's an increase in SIPing from what my daughters and other active Greeks are telling me. A lot of it is apparently coming from schools who require you to attend the maximum numbers of parties you've been invited to. I can see that this could be a good thing but not if you force women to even go to prefs where they don't want to be! (I did a thread on this somewhere.) If a woman has attended several sets of parties and she KNOWS she can't stand ABC (we're not talking about the women who are unsure), then why try to force her to pledge?
If a school forces a PNM to attend a party at a group she hates and no way would she pledge it, then PH has no business penalizing her if she SIPs. I really think this is also why I keep hearing about so many women who don't show up at their houses on Bid Day or depledge within days....a few years back, you didn't hear of that as much as you do now.
