We were talking about people who transfer because of an unsuccessful recruitment/membership intake. There's no need to dress it up as anything else.

Yes, that's what we were saying. And by deeper issues, I don't mean "class sizes are too large."

Ok, but as I understand her post, that's what she's saying. IMO there's nothing wrong with adding different viewpoints to a discussion.

Who is "we"?

Those of us who were saying it's dumb to transfer because of Greekdom are only talking about "because of Greekdom."

Guys transfer, like SEC starting quarterbacks. Some do it because they are criminals or transfer from a coach who is a criminal or just suck. Cameron Newton went to Florida, was kicked out after being arrested and is now starting at Auburn. Jeremiah Masoli went to Oregon, was kicked out after multiple arrests and is now starting at Mississipppi. Ryan Mallett went to Michigan, transferred to and is starting at Arkansas after Michigan brought in coach Rich Rodriguez, who promptly got Michigan on NCAA probation for for the first time in school history for multiple major rules violations. High school all everything qb Mich Mustain went to Arkansas, started as a freshman but was benched after throwing too many interceptions and took off for Southern Cal where he is again riding the bench.

This is not a gendered discussion. You lose at life if you transfer due to Greekdom rejection.

You're talking about sports. We're talking about sorority recruitment. Two completely different things.
