I'm not moving to Pittsburgh, and then complaining about your capes! (Carnegie Mellon, joke, I think, right?)

Hey, I'm totally with you ladies!!! Absolutely, when in Rome...

I don't get the thing about the capes, but we managed to dress in pin attire in the frozen tundra.

The cape thing was just a joke going back a while with 33Girl when we were talking about differences in campus culture and how people saw their groups. Although it's funny for me to imagine an entire campus or city in capes. . .

I think there's a tendency for other regions to regard southern recruitment as particularly bizarre, and I'm not sure that we don't foster that some ourselves, but it's hard to see how it could be the campus's fault that a young woman chose a campus and the corresponding Greek system but then didn't realize what she was getting into.

I absolutely agree. For the record, I don't think it's bizarre, just totally different than what I've experienced; I like to hear about all the different rush processes and learn what goes on at all of them. I have learned so much in the past week and am excited for our recruitment coming up. I guess it's just a lot easier for some people to try find someone or something else to blame when it doesn't work out than to face the real facts.

Would you have preferred some dashes around "and I'm not sure we don't foster that ourselves"?

I fixed the choose for chose issue.

Hey, it was late at night for me.
