I would disregard a negative reputation if it was about an issue that did not matter to me or if the positives outweighed the negatives.
I think it is naive to be unaware of the reputations of certain houses. Ignorance may be bliss, but I'd rather be informed.
I understand that not all reputations are based on fact. However, they will affect a member of the organization and I think it's okay to want to know what you're getting yourself into.
I think every PNM should give each house a fair shot during the actual parties of rush and, when it comes time to rank, consider all possible variables, including reputations.

We aren't arguing, right? This is just a discussion of opinions.
I'm not sure how we can make this any clearer, but I'll try.

REPUTATIONS SHOULDN'T AFFECT YOUR RECRUITMENT DECISIONS.

If you absolutely love an organization, who cares what Random Reggie has to say about your house? While there may be some truth to reputations, most of them are usually rooted in BS (Joe Smith dated an XYZ, they broke up, and now XYZ is the "slut" or "ugly" house).

Listen to what these women (who have already gone through recruitment) are telling you. They're not idiots.
