Not everyone has money-laminates-tans-gets her nails done-wears designer labels- but this is the image they have in their mind. These are images that are weakening the whole. The strength of the Greek system does NOT lie in the hands of the "top".(Though many would argue this point.) It lies in the strength of those middle, down to earth, mixed up, crazy fun loving groups of girls. These are the people whose image should be associated with Greek. Maybe, rush as well as retention would pick up for more campuses if young women would realize that they really can identify with the majority of women in sororities.
Just an opinion.

justamom,
That is the best thing I have read on this subject, well, ever. Can we please clone you and put you in all our national offices, panhellenics and school administrations so everyone gets the message?
