Would you pledge a sorority known for dirty rushing?

Wasn't there a major scene (and plot point) in Eating The Cheshire Cat by Helen Ellis that portrayed a -- fictional -- pre-recruitment party thrown by an alumna to check out or "push" girls who might be suitable for one particular sorority at Alabama?

While fiction, and undoubtedly exaggerated, I think it at least reflected a practice that's not unfamiliar in the Southern sorority world.

This thread reminds me of this one goofy movie I saw a few years back called "Sorority Wars" where a couple of alum moms (Courtney Thorne Smith) were pushing this one daughter, a legacy, to join a "top tier" sorority and she wanted to be in a different sorority.
