This will sound hollow, coming from someone who pledged a sorority at UGA, but Greek Life is not the be-all, end-all at Georgia. I had just as many friends who were in a sorority as not. I was involved in a lot of other clubs and activities, and of course, getting a degree. All of those things were a sliver of the pie that was my college experience.
Most of the Freshmen entering UGA this year were super-stars of their class. Good grades, lots of activities, the whole package. It's harder and harder to get into UGA, which is great in a lot of ways.
But it makes a young woman going through Rush have to work that much harder. If the person walking in next to you has the same stats, you have to make an impression in a very short period of time.
Do I think it sucks that there are great young women falling through the cracks? YES!
And it's hard, because these women are going away from home for the first time, and they're getting rejected out of the gate, likely for the first time ever. This generation grew up being told how special and unique they are, and this is a bitter pill to swallow, especially without Mom and Dad there for support/comfort.
Yes, it sucks.
And no, I don't know what could be done.
