Whatever it's called, it is still stressful--changing the terminology will not change that fact. "Rush" describes the week's events so much better, it's not as clinical as "recruitment," and it's easier/quicker to type!
I don't like the new terms, but I'm trying to be a good little alumna and follow the rules. The old terminology has a warmer feeling than the new. I guess with the shortened time between Bid Day and Initiation, the new members are initiates before they have time to forget their "pledge" to join the GLO!
As far as "suicide" goes, it might be graphic, but it can certainly describe what the PNM might do by only picking one. She has committed suicide by cutting her throat (a little too dramatic, I know) if she doesn't get a bid from her only choice. It might give a PNM something to think about and maybe she would hesitate (or at least be aware of the consequences) before choosing only one.
