Generally being an optimist and wanting to believe the best in people...I'd like to think that such a question being asked is more a mistake by an inexperienced rusher than anything that a chapter would deliberately want asked. Perhaps she felt at a loss for conversation, was trying to make small talk, and happened to ask a "bad" question without any real malice intended?
I definitely don't think it is a commonplace amongst all organizations on all campuses...if anything, usually we're cautioned against discussing all the Bs (booze, boys, bank and/or bucks, etc.) I suppose there may be an individual chapter on an individual campus here or there that really does care, but on a national level I don't think its a generally accepted question to be asked? 
P.S. One of my chapter sisters/roommates in the house had 2 moms.  (Well, she had a mom and dad who were divorced, and 2 step-moms - one via her mom and one via her dad.) |
i only bring this up cause ive seen this in many of recruitment and other threads in the GL forum, the whole "what does your dad do?" thing. i thought that reflected poorly on the organization that asked it.
im sure its not common on all campuses and all orgs, but i've seen it mentioned enough on GC to wonder WTF is up with that? I would just fall out of my chair if someone asked me that with a straight face during a rush.
