Infraction stories

[AXOrushadvisor]

Personally, I hate the whole infraction business. I always say if you have to cheat to get women, well, what is that saying about your Chapter? I do, however, understand the need for rules. I don't understand people breaking them by say calling up a PNM and taking her shopping or to the bar (providing even a fake id) or for ice cream. They have all happened on our campus. I think dirty rushing goes on all the time in small doses and we just don't hear about it. We have a policy that if the women feel the need to file an infraction on another Chapter I will go talk to the recruitment advisor first to see if it can be resolved before filing. So far that has worked for us. I'm sure there are some really good infraction stories out there.

I think infractions get really childish, it became very tattle-tale-y on my campus during silence. I was so frustrated one year and sat in the middle of the student center eating lunch with a friend who I knew was not rushing and was a sophomore. One of my sisters said something to me about how risky that was later. I was just fed up and didn't care. If someone did tattle it was ignored and if it had gone further it would have been easy to prove that I didn't violate the rules.

But the silliness just to avoid getting told on even for NON infractions... ugh.

The only things I remember on campus were the violations of rules against going to the local bars. Being in the city, there were other options, but members were prohibited from going to bars within a certain radius of campus. We always thought it was silly since most PNMs shouldn't have been in the bars anyway.

Similarly, a sorority tried to file an infraction against my group because one of our members happened to be in a group picture of honors society she belonged to that also included a PNM. The picture had approximately 20 people in it - including 3 other sorority members from other organizations. The Greek Life director's response was "your kidding me, right?"

We have one group on campus who lovvveess to run to greek life and tattle tale.
