I thought the assumption regarding age was quite logically drawn from the behavior on this thread.

Actually I do not know what you mean, so for the purposes of clarity, please pardon my dissection.

I wouldn't presume to know what experience other people have based on the cost of their group. My own GLO appears to fall into the "more expensive" category (though for the purposes of comparison, the information regarding costs at most chapters appears to be lacking in general). But I certainly wouldn't assume that girls in less expensive (if that is even the case) chapters have a diminished sorority experience, as you appear to be indicating.

When I went through "rush" (as was the terminology at the time) at Bama, the process was one of mutual selection.


When my daughter went through recruitment on a different SEC campus several years ago, it was also a process of mutual selection. At the conclusion of the party day, she "picked and chose" the houses she most wanted to return to based on the number of allowed parties in the next round, and then prioritized the houses beyond this number.


I was not at all aware that PNMs at Alabama are no longer involved in having some choice regarding where they return. I haven't received that feedback from girls for whom I have written recs or from other alums.

Well, that is true enough -- but difficult to determine the costs of what she has left, considering the unavailability of comparable cost information.
