Everything y'all have said happens to Some degree or another. breathesgelatin your post was very "on target" and carnation, what you said couldn't be MORE true!

My niece went to another school in La., But she had images about the sororities from HER friends that attended LSU ahead of my daughter that she passed on. Crazy thing is, she was really off.

I think dirty rush may be one of the bigger culprits, because around here, it isn't just the sorority members, IT'S THE ALUMS AS WELL! (I get so fired up on this topic!)

Tent talk from PNMs can be so damaging, especially if they believe they are shoe-ins for a couple of specific chapters. You know the ones I'm talking about-they put down EVERY chapter except one or two so if YOU get cut, it can make you feel like a "loser".

Last year during rush, some individuals within a chapter, that has of late, been going up against DG for certain PNMs, made some "untrue" statements about DG's social situation.

Fraternity members will ALWAYS promote the chapter their girlfriends are in.

Looks/personality WILL influence a person's decision since rush is so fast and furious.

Rush is probably one of the MOST interesting campus events.
It's a reality series with drama, competition, heartbreak-raw emotions and fodder for gossip. With some exception, I dare say, everyone knows who the Greeks are and has an opinion on the system and the individual houses. If we can discuss American Idol for so many pages, and in SOME cases, get rather emotional, doesn't it follow that everyone who has he slightest connection to Greeks will let their opinion be known?
