I don't know if some of us can truly understand or remember how vulnerable pnms can be and how it can take some real guts to write their stories. The writer is both a real time reporter and a participant. And she is young. I KNEW that the OP didn't intend to write (for instance) "colored people". I wanted her to clarify quickly and she did. The OP didn't run away.

These threads can become so bland and pc that it is vomitorious. (I LOVED ABC...They were SO cute...as were every other chapter.) It takes guts to write one's heart and head. And words can hurt, witness JuicyCampus and CollegeACB. This year as the Reluctant One was on the "other" side of recruitment I think, from what little she said, she realized how much responsibility she had in making girls feel at home, welcomed and showing them a good time. Perhaps we can show the same restraint and understand that this OP and others struggle in recruitment. And yes, they have opinions just as actives have opinions. It is always "nice" when someone has a "perfect" rush and ends up at a top tier house. We don't fault them for saying that they joined a top house and they "knew" that it would be perfect for them. Why fault someone for saying that their feelings evolved? And, sorry, why jump on someone to say..if you can't stand it...go away?
