This is pretty much the same argument that went around when there were nationwide attempts by NPC to "defrill" rush. We all know how that worked. No one wants to be the first to get rid of the balloons and skits. This was almost 20 years ago, and there are still plenty of frills out there.
The only way IU will change is if the school's administration forces it. Students do not want something other than what they know, alumnae don't want it to change, and no NPC will tell its group to be first to say "hey, screw this silly bed rush crap." The school's administration is not going to force it, because from what everyone's said, they think the Greek system is too big as it is. The last thing they want is for it to double in size. Although if the elitism is eliminated to some degree, it might actually make the Greek system less powerful (if that makes sense).
