I'm glad to see that the discussion has moved onto much more productive discussion. But in response to several outlashings, I would like to make a few final remarks before I get out of this mess:
1) The vast majority of the chapters at UGA "took quota," and several of the ones that didn't are still EXTREMELY STRONG and no one is questioning their viability, due in part to very high alumni donations.
2)No, for most chapters, alumni donations could not run every single chapter here or make up for a very poor rush for years on end. But, if you doubt the financial strength of the women who have been here in years past, come see our houses.
3)We are a VERY different school from northern or western greek schools. We even differ from other competitive southern schools such as Ole Miss, Alabama, Texas, etc. Each school is different, and each must be looked at on a case by case basis. It may be difficult for someone to understand who has never seen our rush or our greek system. I doubt I would understand fully how northern schools rush. It's just different.
Thank you, and good night.
