National HQs ban sorority members from fraternity bid night parties at U. Va.

[ColdInCanada11]

I noticed that the NPC made a post about this on facebook- do sorority members usually attend the fraternity bid days? It is a foreign concept to me, but I figured it must be a bigger thing than I realised for them to comment on it

This is being discussed in the other UVA thread.

Apparently the sororities go from fraternity to fraternity kind of like a progressive dinner, which to me sounds like a much better and safer idea than having a paired function.

The NPC groups REALLY f'ed up on this one. They used the "no participating in men's rush" excuse - when that is usually applied to wonen wearing letters, being hostesses etc. They're stretching it to fit the situation and being called on it, rightly so. #1 they should have been aware this was happening rather than make a last minute dictate; #2, will this apply at all schools now? If so, it'll accomplish nothing but delayed parties.

I thought NPC groups had learned from the DePauw DZ mess that upsetting women who pride themselves on being intelligent and independent is Bad Idea Jeans.

While I'm not jazzed by her use of extraneous apostrophes, it's a good read, and something to think about.
