I know I said this in your other thread, but blaming deferred rush for girls not getting involved in Greek life is a copout. Ask Bucknell or any of the schools in the eastern half of the state...they have deferred rush and no problems getting large pledge classes. If those are too rich for your blood, the last I looked West Chester had quota of around 15 and I think they have deferred.

It almost seems like you're saying the girls get mad at YOU - the Greek orgs - because of a college imposed rule. If they are that dense, do you really want them to join? If they lose interest that quickly, do you really want them to join? If they think they have to choose between Greek life and something else, do you really want them to join? Most Greeks are involved in other extracurriculars.

Why can they join the newspaper staff, university events board, you name the extracurricular but not Greek life? The newspaper staff et al is not a lifetime commitment. If someone flunks out her first semester and leaves the newspaper staff it's not like she's taking their rituals with her.

We don't have larger numbers so we won't change the form of rush, but once we get larger numbers we will? This is crazy. It's not working now, but once it works, we will change it.

Oh and I agree w/ alphagamzetagam's whole post.

I'm sorry if this sounds like yelling, but it's just frustrating to me to read stuff like this.
