Kinda OT, but does anyone remember that horrible article in Allure a few years ago about William & Mary's rush?
The author (who was obviously not Greek) had no idea why or how the rush process worked, and bemoaned the fact that at the end of rush 40 girls didn't get bids. He mentioned snap bidding and one of the unbidded girls responded "That's only for the loser sororities with the hideous girls." Ummm...maybe that attitude is why you didn't get a bid, honey!!
I wish when schools release the figures of girls who don't get bids, that they would also mention the women who are offered a chance to be a part of Greek life and turn their noses up in the air and reject it because it's not the richest or most popular sorority on campus. Sororities are accused of being superficial; sometimes the rushees also suffer from that flaw.
(hopping delicately off my soapbox)
