My amazement just continues to be at the "grooming" that's expected to start for these girls when they still have months left in their senior year in high school. Some may not have even received all of their acceptances yet! But they still "need" to go to this session "if they want" to be in a sorority. The over-involvement of some of these alum panhellenics in these processes is astounding.[/quote]


I don't see that this preparation is any different than the prep work that goes on MONTHS before choosing a college. Think about the ACT prep classes that are taken the junior year, college visits, internet searches, etc. Sororities are a big step and like most big steps, prep work is important. Often, just like in choosing a college, during that prep work, the pnm decides that Greek life is not for her.

And, just a note regarding alum panhellenic groups: this is an important part of alum life - helping young women find their way to (or from for that matter) to Greek life.
