Reccommendations from alumnae work in the same way as letters of reference from previous employers. Favorable responses work in your favor as unfavorable responses do not.

You see, I don't know where you're from, but where I live Rushing is not like that. We do not have any sort of reccomendations or what not. I NEVER even heard of such a thing until I read the book "Pledged." There is nothing to fill out when you come to rush (nothing at all like a resume). You only have to know that you must have a certain GPA to rush, and if you don't then you will have to wait to rush until you bring your GPA up.

If sororities were designed so that "anyone" could join, they would no longer be secret societies. They might get a lot more support from the general public and university administrations, but it would be such a radical reformation that it would never, ever happen, and I don't think members would want it to.

I in no way believe that "anyone" should just be able to join a sorority or fraternity. That would def. take away from the whole point of a secret society. My only point in those whole "mask idea" is that it would force everyone to stop worrying about all the frills (looks, hair, clothes, makeup, ETC.) and force girls to focus on finding sisters that they can relate to entirely on who they are as people. I've heard of plenty of cases where a girl was picked because of how she looked and then after rush and pledging was over people realized, "you know what this girl may look good but I completely dislike her." I'm not saying, THIS MUST BE DONE as the only way to reform rush. I was just wondering if anyone thought it would result in a completely different turn out of pledge classes.
