I am so in favor of using older alums in the "cut room"! Some of y'all may remember that when I got my job as assistant Greek advisor at Mississippi State, the advisor had a Caesarean a week later and I had to conduct rush with only the help of the PH officers. Of course, I had to be in charge of the cut room and I was only 4 or 5 years older than the PNMs. It was terrible; many of them were hysterical, especially when a certain sorority cut them and I can remember thinking, "I can't do this! I'm not that much older than they are!" Plus nobody had warned me about how the PNMs would probably react when they were cut by that one group, even if they had invitations from the other 8 groups. By halfway through the day, I was crying too.
