SurfinDBeach,
It's funny that you mention that, because when I was a collegiate at LB from 93-98 (5 year plan!- they lie about 4, but I digress) it wasn't a big deal at all. No one did that stuff, or if they did it was small time.
Quite honestly I think it is a bad idea. I've seen what it's done...and some women who get involved in "programs" like that tend to give more time to the fraternity than they do to their own org. I wish someone would come in and clean house with that at Long Beach. Most (inter)national organizations, at least from the women's side discourage that behavior. I wish they did it more.
This is AOIIs policy on it.
