I just wonder how many women at CMU when DGTess was there DIDN'T "connect" with the sorority member writing them letters all summer, didn't bother to look at other groups and missed out on Greek life because Panhel wasn't running rush at least semi-properly.
This is what's happening at my school with the lack of a true formal rush - women are only focusing on one group and if they don't get a bid to that group, becoming anti-Greek - which is why these posts really piss me off. There's a big difference between "I didn't think of being Greek until I found XYZ" and "XYZ didn't give me a bid, so I won't think of being Greek." You can argue a chicken/egg scenario (i.e. Greek life was declining anyway, it has nothing to do with the rush method) but when you look at numbers with a formal rush in place and without it, I'd think you'd want to at least try.
