It's a harsh lesson to be learned, but the way you act in public will follow you throughout your life (or stages of your life).

These sorority girls who participated in this will have a rep - one that which a house would not be proud of. And believe me, they will do what they can to "clean it up."

Now, if a girl who is not in a sorority makes a spectacle of herself - like sucking on dildos or other demeaning things, she will get a reputation that will follow her. And if this girl wants to go through Rush, well, people REMEMBER.

You see, when someone is a "frequent party girl" (or perhaps, has a reputation that girls in sororities would be aware of), this is a valid reason to drop a rushee. No one wants a girl with low morals to belong to their house - if one sister knows about low morals, forget it - no question that girl is dropped. You could be roommates with a sister or best friends since birth, but no chapter - esp. one at UF - will take a risk on a girl who already has a rep.

Not to mention, fraternity boys always call sorority members during rush and say, "You DON'T want that girl as a member of your house."

So, these girls who are already IN a house might feel that they don't have to impress anyone. Not true. They will at least face their standards boards internally - and that is something any of us, as outsiders, won't hear about. Chapter members often don't even know when someone is called to standards. It's not something that is publicized.

Oh well...perhaps this would be better off posted in the RUSH forum...maybe we should continue this there, if we're drifting from the original topic..
