wow, that is one hot post and there are SO many things I could say, but I have placed a large unabridged dictionary on my foot so as to keep it out of my mouth!
I agree there should be something to "even out" the numbers of groups and help the smaller ones get up to speed...but like collegiate rush, I wonder if it would help, especially at the southern schools.
But on the other hand, if you think you can't, everyone else will think the same (i.e self fulfilling prophecy). If you keep thinking XYZ is better than you, you will never get anywhere. I know that seems naive and stupid but sometimes I think we need more naive and stupid.
