And what about the fraternity whose pledges are not athletic and could care less, who feel compelled to participate? Do you really think they enjoy it? There are tons and tons and TONS of ways for pledge classes to bond with each other without the whole Greek community watching them and judging them.

My point exactly. This article will be widely distributed in the wake of all that's happened, and 99% of the people who read it won't know jack about Miami. If he's writing things that people outside the Miami community will read, he needs to think about how those people will interpret them. And I'm betting a lot of people will interpret them just as I did - see some of the previous posts on this thread.

According to a friend who is an alum, there are very, very few unattractive girls at Miami. To state that best looking = top tier seems somewhat simplistic. All that aside, there is still some amount of self-policing that can be done when a group's actions are found inappropriate by the Greek community. That apparently hasn't happened.
