My young adult just finished with rush and got a bid that was in her top 3. Her initial feelings were of joy and satisfaction although it was not her first choice. Immediately after the bid process, she and the other New Members got together for photos with the existing members and officers.
During the photos, several of the existing members started blurting out alcohol references and epithets setting an overall tone that quickly disturbed my daughter. It became very apparent to her that the sorority was bad news. This is not to say all the young ladies in this sorority were at fault and participated.
While we are under no false impressions about college age students drinking, to set a tone almost immediately after the bid from the chapter showed great irresponsibility and immaturity. We consider ourselves lucky that the truth about the characters of this sorority overall came to the forefront once the vail dropped.
The unfortunate part is that my daughter has to go through the anguish of dropping the bid basically right when school starts. What a great way to start college.
If you are from a sorority or fraternity, don't think that your actions and words will not ultimately hurt your reputations.
