Of course, I've heard about this story before, but I don't go to school there, and I wasn't involved in it. Still, I never got the impression she had an agenda, certainly not the first time she rushed.
But you know what, I think most rushees have an agenda. Some want to prove how cool they are by getting into the most "elite" chapter. I mean, we've seen prospective rushees post questions to that effect on here. Others want to prove that sororities are snobby or silly and go through as a joke. Some people desperately want to belong after not belonging in high school.
Now I'm not saying any of those are the best reasons for joining a sorority, but that hasn't stopped girls in ANY of those categories from getting a bid. I do understand that this is a competitive campus where lots of girls don't get bids. And maybe she was cut for reasons having nothing to do with race. I don't know, I wasn't there. But I don't think that having an agenda necessarily gets a rushee cut.
The one thing I think this article does show is that race means more some places than others.
