That's NOT what people are jumping on her for. People are jumping on her for this

I mean if your motto is "Let us strive for that which is honorable, beautiful and highest," you follow it and don't just paint it somewhere in your house to pass by while you get ready to prance down the Row in a micromini.

It would be one thing if she was a freshman, but she's not. She rushed as a sophomore after seeing a year of this heinous, values-lacking behavior. She knew what she was getting into and was completely ok with the thought of prancing in a micromini - or she wouldn't have gone through rush. If people said anything about her not accepting her AXO bid, it was because they thought that she ignored a chance to try to change the system from the inside out - to try and attract like-minded individuals and create the kind of sorority she allegedly wants.
