It can be changed. They had bed rush at Arkansas when I was there and the numbers were beginning to be so big that over half the rushees went bidless: good, strong women who would have been such an asset to us, many of whom became anti-Greek in their pain.

Who changed it? In large part, the alums. They could see all the valuable women being drained from the system because of the foolish insistence that everyone live in. Did the Greeks hate the change? If they did, it didn't last long; a couple of years later, no one could believe how it used to be done.

Would I have suppported the change had I been an alum at the time? Are you kidding--with nine daughters, of course I would have! There is no need to become so horribly exclusive that you shoot yourself in the foot by turning away good women and creating enemies on top of that.
