As to why girls comment on guys threads without getting called out:
1. Sometimes we do get called out
2. Guys rush just isn't as systematic and complicated as girls rush, with few exceptions.
3. Many girls here have actively participated (on the Fraternity side) of rush...with even fewer exceptions.than #2, no guys have actively participated in girl's rush.

AlphaFrog,
I would suggest that your comment is not 'the deal'. It is that in your opinion my 'advice' is basically worthless. Very well, I have no argument with your opinion. I just don't happen to agree with it. My 'advice' was offered constructively and seems to be supported by several further comments from later posters. As to qualifying it and asking for reinforcement it seems to me that seeking concensus or inviting differing views hardly establishes the 'worthlessness' of my observations but rather attempts to ensure the usefulness of my input.
I don't recall saying anything about girls not being called out. I recall pointing out that it is apparently standard practice for 'girls' to comment on guy centric threads and issues and therefore it seemed appropriate that the correlary would hold true as well. As to the differences between fraternity and sorority rush and the degrees of cross participation therein, I fail to see the relevance of your argument in addressing whether or not it is a good idea to wear a specific outfit for a specific rush activity.
As to my being pretentious, I'm sorry if I seem that way to you, but would you really want a 34 year old lawyer to come off as an inarticulate adolescent?
I note that many CG regulars are in their 30s and come off a bit more polished than teenaged undergraduates or overaged wannabe kids, but I don't really think that qualifies as pretentious. On the contrary, I submit that acting one's age and drawing on one's experience seems to me to be a valid approach.
