About 2 years ago, we had a thread on this--it got long and there were a lot of arguments on it. Of course, everyone had differing opinions and nothing was settled. What was noteworthy was that many people posted examples of times that Greeks had cut some rushees some slack and admitted them, hoping they'd change.
Hardly any of them did. Almost every situation resulted in the new member continuing the behavior that made her undesirable in the first place, whether it was drugs or extremely weird habits or whatever. It would end up with the GLO being mortified by the NM's behavior and people referring to their org as "the one with the girl who ____" and even hurting them in rush. Sometimes these NMs would come in and split chapters with their behavior.
I have been a professor for almost 30 years and like I said earlier, have rarely seen students with undesirable behavior change while in college. Later changes maybe, but few while in college. Like I also said, GLOs aren't able or even supposed to be social workers.
I have no problem with living my creed or symphony. However, this does not extend to getting my letters onto someone with strange behavior....and I have only written 2 "no" recs in 30 years but those women would've messed up my chapter, as they did the chapters they ended up pledging--and being kicked out of.
