In reading this article it occurred to me that Greek Life is a unique sub-culture on college campuses and due to its elite stature, the average non-Greek is unfamiliar with sorority customs and terminologies. Hence, the story quoted alumnae and their perspectives on the process, but the reporter clearly doesn't understand it himself; hence the inaccuracies reported. Also, having worked with alum who have been far removed from the college scene for some years outside of writing recs, they are often out of the loop when it comes to terminology changes, recruitment rules (even on their campuses) and policies.
Great Greek PR though.
