Are we teaching our daughters that they are better than other girls? There has been a lot of talk about not "settling" for a mid or lower tier sorority. Who decides tiers anyway? Can you tell I'm frustrated? I'd love to know statistics of how many girls started Recruitment and how many accepted a bid.

This whole "nothing but the best mentality" is in line with the sense of entitlement SOME kids are growing up with today. Who creates this attitude? The parents in many instances. Their children are an extension of themselves, so they make sure the kids are over programmed in the best activities, go to the right schools, have the right clothes, etc. What happened to teaching kindness and giving back for the sake of doing the right thing, not because it will look good on a resume?
How can intelligent young women not see that the different Greek organizations are more alike than different? Aren't students at UNC supposed to be best of the best? Doesn't sound like there are any leaders in the group. A smart group should be able to figure out that each year the house changes by 25%. A strong group of girls would recruit girls like them and in three years, the chapter would be almost totally different.
