It has been this way for years whether it is good for you or not. Be safe and make good judgements is what I say!

Wow, good thing I live in an area with four seasons and am an alumna. No way in hell I'd get a tan for recruitment. Clothes and jewelry sure, but I'm not going to risk skin cancer or wrinkles, or chance a rash from the spray because my sisters tell me to. I find it so fascinating sororities have programming on body image (eating disorders for example) binge drinking, drug use, dating safety, risk management as a whole, but we completely ignore, or encourage/require from your story other actions that have health risks.
