Ugh, that's so wrong. What parents are letting their 16-year-olds go to fraternity parties? And on the sorority side, how is that not considered dirty rushing of some sort?

And you DID walk away, right, PG?

I find it hard to believe that any HS girl is "locked" into any sorority, even at 'Bama. The girl may think she has a guaranteed in, but anything can happen during her last two years in high school. Girls rushing her in two years might also remember her as "that 16 year old who went to frat parties."

I know that there are tons of desirable HS girls sororities already want to join their sisterhoods, but let's not kid ourselves here. That 16 year has no control whatsoever on whether or not she gets a bid from Chi Omega, let alone any sorority at 'Bama, two rushes from now.
