She's apparently against anything traditionally Greek.

And because using Rho Chis and forcing all rushees to go to every house is denying these young women their individuality and responsibility to take care of themselves. Why do they need to be lead around campus by the nose and required to spend 20 minutes with a group before making a lifelong decision that is then followed by a much-too-short pledge period? They should know everything at 18 or 19, they are adults after all, should experience the "good" parts of hazing and don't need to be beaten over the head by risk management training.

... or something to that effect.... am I close?

And no, for all your astute observations, I'm not. I'm all for candle-passing ceremonies, rushing, pledging, semester-long pledgeships, pledge rituals, and life-long commitment. I believe pledges should get to know all the sisters in the house, should have to do chores for the good of the house, and should learn. I believe sisterhood is for life, but I don't like all my blood sisters either.
