Besides, if she WAS trying to prove a point, instead of rejecting her because of it, wouldn't that be the perfect opportunity to judge her solely on her qualities to see if she was the right material and prove everybody wrong if she was? Why would you teach her a lesson by helping her prove her point?

This is, as my dear mother used to say, like wiping your a$$ with a hoop - just around and around. Maybe she didn't get in because she was black, and maybe she didn't get in because she rubbed everyone the wrong way and would have done so whether she was black,white, green or purple. Unless we look into the heads of every sorority sister from Bama, we'll never know.
All I know is, I've read some of the stories of rushees on here that really loved this or that house, or only got through first round and did not get bids - and these girls are EXTREMELY upset. The last thing they're thinking of doing is being interviewed about their experience for the school paper (not to mention national papers).
