What old tradition would you like to see revived?

[DGTess]

I've quit supporting the Greek system - though I support the ideals, the national philanthropy, and the local alumnae chapter because you can't do it from the outside.

I miss RUSH.
I miss PLEDGES. Frankly, when I invite a new sister, I want here to know that she is pledging her honor. Not necessarily to initiation, though if we didn't think she knew what she was getting in to, we wouldn't have invited her. I want her to understand the seriousness of it. AAA has new members, fraternities/sororities should have pledges.
I miss getting to know the rushees. What is this with "Rho Chi"? What a crock!. NPC would like you to believe every house is just like every other, just with different colors and badges. Had I not gotten to know the house's culture first, I would not have joined. The summer before freshman year, all the incoming freshman women were contacted by a summer Big Sister - a member of one of the sororities. I got a nice letter, and answers to mine, a frank discussion of Greek life and of other social, fraternal, academic, and entertainment options on campus, and a sense of what to expect.

I miss the opportunity for leadership. Today's collegians are expected to conform. "Go along to get along" should have no place in the Greek system.
