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

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.
