Next, it is so silly to make others feel at fault for a popularity contest gone bad. The few minutes spent with a girl does not qualify anyone to judge whether they fit in. It is a very random, very power driven week in the life of a very impressionable 18 year old that can make them a few instant friends or help them start off college with a very bad taste in their mouths.
Last, girls you don't have to pay dues and go through this to have fun in college. you should do this because you actually like the process and want to be a part of it. it is like grad school....not required but can be good for some. so relax and take the money you saved and go do something else that makes you happy.

Just wondering, are you in a Sorority? Not that you need to be in order to have an opinion, but words have more worth when you have some experience or evidence to back them up.
Although I agree with you that you do not need to go Greek to have a fulfilling and fun college career, there are many that are members and who really enjoy their experiences during and after college, and to judge them is unfair.
Yes, rush is difficult on many levels. I do understand the heartbreak (if you ever care to hear my story I would love to share it). But girls go into it being told that there are no guarantees and therefore they need to be prepared for the possibility of not being offered a bid.
As far as who gives someone the right to judge others based on a 10-minute conversation - I'd say that anyone who has say in who gets into an organization, job, etc., has the right. The criteria may change (and face it, even in jobs, people are judged on seemingly superficial things when you have to choose one person over another - or hundreds). I suggest that if you are going to bash a process, at least back it up with some evidence. Otherwise, you just come off sounding bitter and ignorant.
PS before you bash me, please look up the definition for ignorant.
