I started reading this thread realizing that it was started in 2003. Thank you for bringing it foward. There have been some recent threads that have disintegrated into an appalling piling on by women who are old enough to know better. I had just turned 16 when I rushed and thought that I knew a lot about the world. My kids all know more than any adult (said with rolling eyes). Perhaps it is a good thing that I am blissful ignorant about rush at most universities. I don't care if the school is in Alabama or Oregon, my sorority or any other. I am rooting for the kids. Next year I hope that you will root for my daughter. But in fairness to the kids who are rushing the attacks on some of the posters are doing exactly the opposite what this forum is supposed to support: knowledge about rushing and sororities in general. Some kids are simply more vulnerable than others. Some have really great outcomes...some not. Some pnms or new members sometimes say the "wrong" or politically incorrect things. Some of the posters remind me of the movie "Mean Girls". It is so safe to be bit **** and cruel online. It takes but a moment to edit yourself.
