anniesigkap and others,

Reading these threads I have come to realize that Formal Rush is a unique and special experience at some of these Psycho Schools.

To see that experience ruined for PNM's because of the lack of care exhibited by active memebrs is horrifying.

You, anniesigkap and others have chosen to belong and perpetuate a system that creates an artifical demand for PNM's.

A system that allows many girls to go unplaced so that a limited amount of sororities can almost always be assured of never having membership problems.

The least you can do is embrace your responsibility to give the PNM's a magical experience. They should have tears in their eyes.

Like a good pageant, even if they have the dissapointment of losing (not being picked) the process should be so enjoyable that it was worth being involved.

To let them down. To not give them their proverbial money's worth. To be involved in creating a degrading, humiliating and awful experience . . .

Is to fail miserably in your responsibility both as sorority members and human beings.

Good human beings are defined by being involved in and helping to create good or even great effects on people.

Bad human beings are defined by being involved in and helping to create bad or awful effects on people.

How can there be any question that in this circumstance you have chosen to show yourselves as bad human beings?

You and others have chosen to ruin what has become a Rite of Passage for many women. No different than spoiling a first stolen kiss, a prom, a graduation . . . or in this case a Formal Rush.

All events that are supposed to be magical occasions that will resonate inside of us for the rest our lives.

Memories that we will trot out to warm us when life seemd cold and hard.

But not this memory for this and other PNM's. This memory will be hidden and painful like so many of Life's Dissapointments.

All because you and others chose to let these poor girls down.

And instead of letting her suffer in dignified silence and be consoled by others . . .

And instead of taking responsibility or offering solace . . .

You have chosen to offer an angry and callous defence of the undefendable.

Because how can you defend ruining someone's Rite of Passage?

Well enough from me.

You, anniesigkap, have made your position clear and are both unsypmathetic and unrepentant for ruining a Life Experience for a population of girls who's fragile hopes you carried in your clumsy inept hands.

But at least I am consoled knowing what comes around goes around. And that someday your happiness will be carried around in someone else's callous hands.

And maybe, after they dash your dreams, they will offer the same lame excuses.

I sincerely hope that happens to you many times beyond count.

Have a nice day

What my dear friend James is trying to say is that it is not nice to be rude to PNMs.
