Yes it was sad. There was lots of dirty rushing and extream competition for girls going on and it was unnecessary - defintily like a sorority movie nightmare! I think a lot of it turned off quality women to greek life.
There was always a high attrition rate from rush especially before and after pref night. I think it was a big weakness in our greek community. I don't know if things have changed at my school since I graduated but I do know they are getting a new greek life advisor - so hopefully things will get better.
On a more positive note - I love some of the other ways of bid distribution I have read about here! And if any PNMs are reading don't be scared b/c my story - it's one school out of many and it was two+ years ago
