Discrepancies in the way we view rush

In many ways, this is why I'm glad we don't do rush with resumes. I think there are a lot of girls who would be "mediocre" to "poor" in other schools that are going through rush...and the sorority is just the outlet they need. It gives them a chance to take on as much responsibility as they want, learn leadership, and express themselves. They just may not be able to act in that capacity in high school or in other campus clubs.

I think in a lot of ways, these girls that some call "mediocre" are EXACTLY THE GIRLS WE SHOULD BE RECRUITING. While it is NICE to have a house of beautiful 4.0 Rhoades Scholars who rescue kittens on the weekends, is it not also the purpose of the sorority to instill the values of scholarship, compassion, learning, etc?

I don't think I came into Tau Delta a polished stone, but I have been shaped, formed, molded into a person that is proud to be a Delta...and I'm proud that my acomplishments only make Her look better....and I don't think I'd be as disciplined as I am now.

Stands up and applauds....
