OK, so I'd really love to live in a world where every woman was a wonderful PNM - but unfortunately it's true that there are some people who are just not right for the greek system... By this I'm referencing the Rush thread that mentioned the psycho-killer- roommate, and the kitten-killer! Thankfully, these are few and far between and hopefully each house would have enough time to get to know them and their dangerous behavior and cut them VERY EARLY. This is unfortunately another catch to release figure systems that require chapters to invite a certain number (a quota if you will) each day. BUT, when it comes down to Suzy Skank, Debbie Ditz, or (you KNOW this happens) Uma Ugly...... I just don't believe that anyone's bedroom habits, study habits (or the lack thereof) or looks really has THAT much to do with her ability to become a fantastic sister. HONESTLY, it could just be a matter of giving a woman a chance to be around other women who hold themselves to noble standards, appreciate such actions, and encourage others who've made the same committment. (Postitive) peer pressure can be a positive thing. Ok, we should all go read our Creeds/Symphonies now..............
(hijack)--There are plenty of sleazy women I would not want to wear the letters "Pi Beta Phi". Likewise women who'll destroy the chapter gradepoints because they refuse to study. One thing about being around a few years--you learn that positive peer pressure at college age rarely works but you do see a lot of students being dragged down by negative peer pressure from whatever source. Creeds and symphonies notwithstanding, a woman should be worthy of wearing our letters and we shouldn't feel the need to be social workers and drag someone out of the gutter. Thank you!
