Amen.
Why are we having this discussion again anyway? Here's what always happens:
1. The discussion gets heated. Again.
2. Carnation or another big-university alum comes on and confirms that people would abuse this, especially in the South.
3. Someone then comes on and says the sorority members in the South are racist, sexist, antifeminist, allother ist because of this.
4. Flame war starts in earnest.
If you transfer and your friends are all Alpha Betas, why do you have to wear their letters to hang with them? And especially at a competitive university--why would you want to take the pledge spot that someone else who's never pledged could have?
If not being able to pledge a second group is the worst thing that happens in your college life, count yourself lucky.
