It is DISGUSTING to me that holding on to their perceived status is more important to IU NPC houses. All of the power is in the hands of 18-22 yr old ‘boys’ and what they “value” in a group women. So the houses do everything but pimp their members out. (And that’s optimistic.)

Lottery, lottery, lottery—with severe punishments for non-participation.

No kidding. Hurray for female empowerment.

Last year I browsed that stupid site. My dd ended up pledging one of the "lower" ranked chapters. What was said about that chapter by both males and females on that site (I won't refer to them as men and women...they don't deserve it) was disgusting. The women at my dd's chapter are wonderful. I'm glad to have her associated with them.

But unfortunately, this goes beyond the IU Greek system. Pretty much reflective of society sad to say.

I have been watching the FB page and commenting a bit. There are some sad mommas on the page right now and I can relate. I was there last year. And I don't think anything anyone said could have made me feel better. Hopefully everyone comes out stronger on the other end and knows themselves a bit better.
