I am quite familiar with UF these days and I am able to compare to numerous years going quite far back. There has always been competition between the houses, but it was more of a healthier competition for lack of better words. The women presented themselves more like young ladies and anything in poor taste was behind closed doors as already stated.
What I have noticed is more of an extreme or bolder competition as of recent. There appears to be more of a battle for the "select" pnms these days and also the need to declare that your org is the top house. I don't like to say that a certain young lady should not be in "such and such" group (or slipped through) because of how she looks. Times have changed at UF and not all the "so-called" gorgeous women are admitted to the University as in years past. It is a much more average pool of pnms these days when it comes to looks and I believe that is one reason for the increased competition. The entering women are truly intelligent on a much greater scale. I feel this creates that greater need to compete on so many levels. It goes on all year long.
I find this video disappointing, but it does not shock me. I find them to be foolish and a poor representation of their group on campus. I hope people learn from this in all of the orgs.
