No, I think it's a healthy weeding out of women who went into rush for the wrong reason - wanting to join a sorority just to be popular and not giving a crap about sisterhood.
There's always been pressure to take "unwanted bids." It's usually been on girls without a lot of choices in rush, and on their sorority counterpart - misguided "let's help poor XYZ and throw them the leftovers." Well now it's happening to the girls who thought they would always get what they want and would never be anywhere in the "leftover" category. Pardon me if I don't cry in my Cheerios.
