I'm not willing to say she's a jerk, because I have a feeling that even though this young lady was naive, that she was smart enough
not to make the comment about greeks being 'all over her' while she was going through rush. Of course, now that people are making a mountain out of that molehill, her chances for being in ANY greek organization at U of A are slim to none.
She was upset and she was talking to a reporter. How many of us have said things we've later regretted without it being an indictment of our character?

I understand what you're trying to say. I'll gladly say that there's a big chance she didn't get in because she's black, if you'll say there's also a big chance she didn't get in cause, well, she's a jerk. There are a lot of people who look great on paper but in person are like nails on a blackboard. I don't care if someone's valedictorian, homecoming queen or volunteer of the year, I'm not going to give them a bid if they irritate the @#%& out of me.
Maybe during next year's rush, this woman or another black person will integrate the UA system, which I agree is long overdue. But even if that happens, it won't be truly integrated until black members pledge - and no one notices.
