It is clear to me that UT has seen this "dance party" as an infraction and fines the chapter as a sanction. The chapter builds these fines into their recruitment budget. Lots of chapters do that for various things they want to get around during recruitment(extra decorations, piece of jewelry, etc.). What is so stupid is that the Panhellenic council, Greek life, or school administration has not nipped this mean, rude, and hurtful behavior in the bud. I also call bulshit on it being a part of ritual. My campus got rid of mid party singing years ago (excluding pref of course) and hasn't looked back. A semester or year long of social probation as a sanction would force these girls to change their behavior. Your alums can't buy their way out of that and social probation doesn't look so nice to a PNM that wants a fun experience. Plus, Nationals would have to acknowledge a probation sanction and the infraction. A rush fine just gets swept under the rug.
