Eek!! Misscommunitcation is a bad thing!
I think when Salacity18 was talking about alumni, she was being unclear, and it might have been misstranslated. As it stands now, our panhel does not want to allow alumni participate in rush, besides standing there and carrying food. Personally, for our house this creates a problem, because the alumni participate actively in our preference ritual in order to show that the sorority last a lifetime not just four years. This is an important part of sorority life, this can not be argued. However, if Panhel votes to keep alumni completely segregated, then the only thing that we can do is violate their rules, because we arent allowed to change our ritual.
Also, I think its a lot to assume that houses are happy with their numbers. I know a lot of sisters from the smaller house on campus, and they have been trying their hardest to get more numbers because otherwise they remain under the eye of their international organization. It looked like they were starting to pull away last year, but now they are almost back to square one. I agree that a lot can be said about hard work and dedication, but sometimes that isn't enough.
Thirdly, spring rush, in the years that I have been at Pitt, has been utilized by everyone. In the past three years, Tri Sigma has used it twice, so I dont nessicarily think that it is rare. Granted, a lot of the time chapters join spring rush by inciting early alumhood with their senoirs, but two out of three of the years that I have been here, all but two houses go through spring rush. These are not even the same houses each year. Please correct me if this was not the trend before my time.
Lastly, I think that this whole argument comes abou because of descrepancies in understanding of the green book. Do over half of the chapters have to be at ceiling BEFORE or AFTER recruitment?
*Libby*
p.s. Personally, I am a big fan of what DPhiE and ADPi have done in the past year, year and a half, not to mention KD.. It takes a lot of dedication.
p.p.s. does anyone know house numbers right now? (We are at 45)
p.p.s.s. If anyone wants to know how HENIOUS the recruitment shirts are for that ________ unspoken group PM me. They live up to the negative stigma that many GDIs subscribe to. Ewwww.
