I'm not willing to let others make those choices for me without my voice being heard, but apparently that's not appropriate in these forums. Here it seems to be go along with the group. Sorry, that's not for me.

Often on smaller campuses, they do have that. It's called continuous open bidding. We had instances where girls came to open bid parties for a year before they joined because they just weren't ready.

But if you have hundreds of girls going through rush at the same time, you don't have that luxury. It's my belief that at campuses where all the chapters are very large, they probably are more alike than different.

Oh, and please tell me what "shut up and color" means, because I don't have a clue.

I've heard this expression in only one area of the country (although I'm sure it's used elsewhere), and it basically meant, "Run along now... your opinion doesn't matter here." Of course, you have to imagine it being said with the proper amount of condescension for full effect.
