But it was widely known how to play the game.
The theory was 'the less the parents called the better' so that was the way it worked. Now that they have someone who is working with Greek Life directly, the policies may have changed a little.

Oh, I don't want to put you in a bad position and I really didn't mean to hijack the thread with this, I was just so taken aback when I read your post. I've never, ever heard of something like that. I would criticize "the system" for bowing to "the parents", but I assume that those in the greek system must somehow be at least a little complicit in the situation otherwise they'd take a stand against their parents (instead of soliciting them to fight on their behalf). I don't understand how real sisterhood can flourish under those conditions, though...
