The fact that we are not allowed to let new members go on scavenger hunts shows that we (Greek Life) has gotten a bit soft. Those are the things many people cherish.

She said it bothered her to see Phi Mus wearing letters but was that the crux of her PTSD?
A lot of Greeks say that Greek Life has gotten a bit soft but (as I've probably said in a couple of threads today
) it got soft for what was considered a good reason. For every cherished and harmless scavenger hunt, there are chapters that will have a scavenger hunt with an added twist that was added for a number of potentially harmful reasons.
