decadence-What's the situation with professional GLOs though, are they allowed to select in the same way as social GLOs apart from on gender or are they not allowed to select on whether they want to spend time with a person, not being social and only on academics, whether the pledge attended enough meetings etc?
I wonder about this too.

And the other thing I wondered about was where people commented on how if race discrimination was alleged it was up to the person to prove it. Would the burden of proof really lie with the cut person and not the GLO?? There'd have to be evidence sure but would the fact no black/jewish/otherminority candidates had got in while people who weren't in the applicable minority did be enough? Is that another reason why some administrations are anti-Greek - a fear of discrimination lawsuits?
Boy, are you asking some good questions! I think in a competative rush environment, it would be hard for a rushee to prove it. So many of us know or have heard of
" The FANTASTIC rushee that got cut" by 8 or 9 out of 10 houses. IF a person tried to prove that they were discriminated against, all a GLO would have to do is pull out 70 resume's that look JUST as good as the one making the allegation. I don't think that would be too hard when you have 1000 girls rushing. I'm no expert on any of this stuff, and maybe there are legal aspects I'm not even thinking of, but I just don't think it could fly. Maybe if there were 50 of 1000, or some majic number of rushees who were seemingly cut due to discrimination they could apply some statistic to it and go from there. GOOD QUESTIONS!!!
