No...this I would think is the downfall..
Poor traditions and poor connections. Because it was a fairly young chapter (relatively...as it's probably older than most of y'alls chapters) it didn't have the tradition or connections. It made poor rush decisions previous as they were always known for being not as good...but they had the numbers to maintain. After this decision, which obviously affected the fraternities...and the fraternities responded, it went down hill from there. Now it survives on the fact that somewhere between 700-800 girls go through Arkansas rush every year.
I'm not googling to see who Beyonce Knowles...I'd rather not know. I hate MTV.

Overall, though, it's the bigness of the car that counts the most. Because when something bad happens in a really big car – accidentally speeding through the middle of a gang of unruly young people who have been taunting you in a drive-in restaurant, for instance – it happens very far away – way out at the end of your fenders. It's like a civil war in Africa; you know, it doesn't really concern you too much. - P.J. O'Rourke
