For rush, I'm in complete agreement with you.

But I don't think that the general undergraduate usage of the term is a test in that way. I think it might be a case of members of a group using a term to take ownership of it and diminish it's harm, but more than anything, I think they just find it amusing.

It's just like referring to yourself or someone or something you know as being "fratty." You aren't seriously that person, at least I hope not, but it's amusing to pretend to embrace it.

It's kind of a self-parody to distance yourself from the stereotype.

But again, it just goes back to my point that I don't think a listener can accurately deduce based on the use of the word "sorostitute" alone what someone thinks about women. And one should probably be really careful during recruitment for that reason.
