My school's board is fine. The only thing was that a fraternity member posted a thread to help answer questions about Greek life (fantastic recruitment idea on his part, although I bet sorority members might be considered dirty rushing if they did it). A NPHC sorority member also chimed in with assistance. The questions were mostly about when is rush, how expensive is it, is there hazing etc. Perfectly normal questions which were answered responsibly.
One PNM, however, wrote "what are the specific images for each sorority? I need to know whether I join the right one or not." The fraternity member wrote a tactful response about how you have to rush to find the house that is right for you and not listen to stereotypes. She then replied (something to the extent of) "I know...but seriously, what are they? I am just curious. I heard ABC is the best choice."
The funny thing is that simply by looking at how she's represented herself on her profile, she does not have a shot in hell at ABC and is actually going to be very hard pressed to get a bid to the vast majority of sororities.
