Which sorority was your Rho Chi in?

[DGTess]

If you still call yourself a sorority alumna, and you believe the current system of rush is harming your sorority on either a local or a national level, which it sounds like you do, then yes it is very much your issue, and I'd like to hear what you think would be a better way for those schools to run rush.

What's not my issue is that others can't see other ways to handle rush. Status quo is always easier.

Other ways?

Look at the fraternity systems.
Only informal rush. Bids when the sisterhood feels ready.
Get Panhellenic out of rush, or use them as administrators.
Postpone rush until spring semester, when women have become familiar with campus and the various houses.
Look at sororities that don't participate in formal rush. Select some of their methods - application, grades, etc.

Most likely ome combination of these. There are hundreds of ideas, some of which would work on some campuses but not on others.
