Rushing as a Junior (Yes, I know... embarassing)

It doesn't help that Lehigh ranks their Greek organizations: http://www3.lehigh.edu/News/V2news_s...p?iNewsID=2302

Orgs receive a gold, silver, or bronze ranking. Some are even labeled 'poor'.

The above link takes you to an article posted in August 2007, but exlurker first posted about it back in August 2005.

I totally believe in giving credit where credit's due, so good for them. But still, many PNMs go into rush hearing of reputations and some even swear by tent talk -- so I can't help but think that this ranking system fosters that.

Actually, several campuses do this

is this an organized rush, where pnms are divided up into rush groups and on the first day you go around within your rush group to all the sororities? if that is the case, then there is no need to explain why you are visiting "abc" or "def" sororities. you are attending their party at that particular time because that is what your schedule stipulates.

if you want to join a sorority, and you feel that a junior may be at a disadvantage, then you hedge your bet by attending parties at as many of the sororities as you can. don't give up any sorority before you have attended a party there.
