Well then, they should limit it to international students so they could focus on and discuss the challenges they are going to face, rather than offering it up to people who are perfectly able to get there at another time. I'm sure sorority rushees aren't the only ones perpetually screwed by this late session if it's presented as a cost-saving measure.

You have a history here of presenting groups like colonies, revitalized chapters and struggling groups as "alternatives" for PNMs who have some kind of additional hurdle to overcome. That only perpetuates stereotypes and comes off as patronizing.
