As long as the "survivors" of IU recruitment feel like they have won something singular, rare and exclusive, they will feel duty bound to perpetuate the system, no matter how much they claim to feel for the PNMs left out in the cold, or how much they hate the system. If they truly hated it, they would agitate to change it. Witness the women who stood up to alums at Alabama and said, "Enough!".
I went to a school in which living in was the norm and expected for 3 years--to the point where a sister who made plans to live out her senior year was voted out by the members and her membership rescinded. I appreciate the value and the advantages of having everyone live in--it is an incredible living experience. It is just not practical in some systems anymore with housing costs astronomical and greek membership rising. Things change, bringing blessings and challenges. Greek life should be organic, not static if we want to continue to thrive. I wish my organization would address this at IU, but they seem to be following the sheeple.
