i have a problem with rush language in general, such as cutting, preffing and other negative words...i know that my chapter chooses not to offer bids to girls because they had something negative about their personality such as they were mean or unfriendly or disinterested, not their looks or personal creed...i think it's horrible that sisters arbitrarily use the word DISCRIMINATION when referring to rush practices, a word that has such a history of hate and intolerance...i think that rush is about choosing girls that will make your organization the best that it can be, not cutting other people down who don't share their views...we all hope that PNMs will find houses that they are most happy with and we want to make our own PNMs Greek experience the best that it can be, individualistic and happy, not try to fit them into a cookie-cutter image of our sorority...
i hope that most sorority sisters hang out with members of other chapters and non-Greeks...if you only hang out with your sisters, those girls that you did not discriminate against, wouldn't you be just as close-minded as non-Greeks who stereotype against us? i don't know about everyone else, but i've had more of a problem with non-Greeks stereotyping against Greeks rather than the other way around...
getting off the soapbox...
