Would my last name blackball me?

I am not talking about you or the other people that gave me patient responses. The reason is 20 years ago my aunt rushed at the same school that I am in the spring, and was only considered by a Jewish sorority. And...the moderator most certainly did ridicule me. A ?social leper? in my book that is not support, that is ridicule, and really I don't appreciate it. If you are no longer giving advice to prospects/ or answering questions thats fine, but when a question arises and it is answered in such a demeaning way...that is not ok. I am most definitely not talking about the people who gave me answers that are helpful and I will take your advice whole heartedly.

That unfortunately did happen sometimes, 20, 30, 40 years ago. It's not something that happens now, just because those last names aren't considered exclusively Jewish anymore as they were in the past.

No, it's totally ok. Because you're an idiot. We should take bets on how soon after your rush you start posting questions about how to start a colony.

That was way out of line.


OP: While I see why some people think this is a silly question, I have to say that considering your aunt WAS discriminated against for this very reason, I understand exactly why you are asking. All we can say is that no, you will probably not be dropped because of your name - very few, if any, campuses follow those procedures any more.

And we know that how?

Membership selection is secret. For all we know, the aunt could have been a douchebag.

It's pretty well known that 30 to 40 years ago, it WAS a big deal to have a Jewish name. Many of the retro recruitment stories on this site that I've read have mentioned this in detail. Stay in your lane.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I just spit my lunch all over my computer. I always have and always will think that word is funny.

Where's the funny sounding words thread?
