Politically Correct terms?

RUSH RUSH RUSH, PLEDGE PLEDGE PLEDGE!!

If I was a naive freshman and someone told me I had to go through something called "recruitment" I would have run the other way, having no military inclination whatsoever.

As far as new member, well, as a Beavis & Butt-Head fan, all I can think is, "huh huh huh, you said member." If they must change this make it new sisters. Country clubs and chambers of commerce have members. I personally do not. I have SISTERS. I also think that "new member" does not fully convey the amount of commitment that a sorority requires.

ktsnake is right...they believed changing the names would change what something was. Well guess what, we still have dirty "recruitment" and "new members" who aren't treated well by their chapters. Sound & fury, signifying nothing.

I think the most telling thing is the amount of rushees who come on this site using the terms "rush" and "pledge" and they don't seem to be upset by them at all. I've actually heard of people being bitched at because they called THEMSELVES pledges!! Come on people, what are we trying to prove here?
