If you can't rush until our a sophomore, odds are you know more about the pledge process than members may like for you to know. When you only have to go to 4 out of 5 clubs through all of rush, why would you choose the one who is known for having a "hard" pledge period??? Especially if the other ones don't. I mean honestly something has to change if she wants to go from a pledge class of 5 girls (really only three who are active) to the 51 girls other clubs are getting. That's all I was really trying to get out without being so direct. But there you have it directness.

No.

You were telling her how it "should" be done through the eyes of your own experience rather than understanding that there are differences in the organizational culture at her school. You made a judgment call based on too little data to actually make one.

I understand your point, really I do, and your points are not "bad" but they make assumptions -- you don't have a fundamental understanding of this particular organization or campus to begin to help.

Which is why I wish such organizations shouldn't use GC as a resource for assistance and just used it to share what their organizations are all about.

I honestly doubt this is the case. She NEVER said that their pledging was, or was looked on as, any harder than the other groups' processes. I don't think that's why they're having numbers issues. If they watered down their process (and it got around that they had done so) they probably wouldn't have gotten ANY pledges.

Like Sen said, these schools are so different in culture that for anyone to judge based on an NPC pledgeship (which has gotten to be ridiculously the other end of the spectrum) doesn't make sense.
