While some may see selectivity (and I don't even like that word) as a part of Greek Life, people also need to realize that each campus is different. Some campus' may have every woman match, so how is that being selective if each woman finds a home and a bond? Fraternities are the same way, so should they have open recruitment for all also?
Just because groups different on certain aspects based on their organization doesn't mean the whole message isn't the same. We're all greek because we are a part of a larger whole. Our organization provides a bond, friendship, sister/brother hood, and a lifelong connection that is beyond the borders of our campus. How amazing is it to meet a fellow sister/brother while away from school? PRETTY AWESOME.
Everything is selective. In going with a recruitment feel, what if we compared recruitment to the current Olympic trials or even college sports try-outs? If you're a swimmer, but you try out for the basketball team, should you automatically get to make it since you're interested?? The same goes for Greek Life. Org ABC may be like swimming, while DEF is like basketball. You have to go where you fit.
I've posted before and I'll post again. This is just another hurdle for Greek marketing on campus. We've had to deal with MTV and now Robbins and it will be overcome, because we all know that Greek Life is an amazing experience.
