I just want to point out that this is not necessarily true. In fact, often, the larger the school is, the LESS likely it is that they'll check. Who wants to go through and check up on whether 800 different rushees were Greek before?
Not that I'm encouraging anyone to do this, by any means, but there are plenty of schools where there IS no checking up (on whether you were Greek, on legacy status -- probably more common not to check outside of the south -- on GPA, etc.). You definitely don't know which you're going to get, though.
For those of you who go to schools where you DO check if the girls were Greek before, how do you do it? Do you send a list of social security numbers to the HQs of all national sororities and ask them to match them up or something? That just seems like TONS of work on both ends, especially when you take into account that it's happening all over the country.

Well, I do understand and I DO critize those that try it! I had to transfer after only 2 years in my organization because of my degree. Yes, it was hard to leave my sisters, and I loved my university. Give me a break----whether you hear it in your new member program or at the begining of recruitment----everyone knows you just can't go from group to group to join up at will!

Please. Not everybody's Greek experience was identical to your own. I know that I was never told at any point during my recruitment or new member period that I couldn't have been Greek before. If it wasn't for GC, I probably wouldn't know that this is the case.
You guys have to realize that while most of us on this website are extremely educated on Greek issues, that is NOT true across the board, and I would hazard a guess that it's the exception rather than the rule.
