On our campus, we look for diversity. We recruited one girl extra hard who was another race because we felt that she was a really well-rounded person. We also turned another girl away who was of a different race, but that had ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with why we didn't bid her.

I will admit that Recruitment can be superfical, but that's mainly because you have 3 minutes with each girl to decide if you want them as part of your life-long sisterhood. I'm sure you have a few girls you know that you would love to be in a life-long bond with and others that you'd rather chew your own arm off then have anything more to do with them then absolutly mandatory. Does this have anything to do with race, political views or any of the other characteristics you mentioned above? Think about that.

And as for sexual orientation...it's the Potential New Member's choice if they want to reveal this info, knowing that whether they're rushing a GLO, getting a job, running for office, etc...there WILL be people who will judge them for it. Is it right? No. Does it happen everywhere, including, but not limited to GLO's? Yes. We had a sister who was a lesbian, and in the end she ended up quitting, because it was a rather uncomfotable situation. (It's like putting a straight guy in an orginzation with nothing but pretty lesbians, he's going to feel at least a slight bit uncomfortable).

I hope you have an open enough mind to at least check out Greek Life at your school. If it's exactly what you expected, and not for you, you haven't lost anything. But if you are suprised to find something that you might want to be a part of, you've found a life-long bond. But if you choose to ignore it compleatly, you miss the oppertunity to be part of something potentially life-changing and great.
