I think there are sorority women who can give great fraternity rush advice. I also think there are sorority women who give awful fraternity rush advice.

There are some fraternity men who can give great sorority rush advice. There are some fraternity men who give absolutely awful sorority rush advice.

Equality for all, kumbaya, etc...

95% of fraternity men don't have to worry about totals or quotas or pref parties or rankings, so how can we tell PNMs their chances with those curveballs thrown in?

There's a difference between saying "Keep your options open" or "Do your research" (which can be applied to several situations) and "You will be fine. Don't worry about a thing."

How can a sorority woman tell a fraternity PNM his chances when fraternity rush can be drastically different campus to campus? At least with NPC rush, there's some level of normalcy across most campuses.

I just think it's a bit of an unfair statement (originally made by someone else) to say that sorority women are qualified to give advice about fraternity rush whereas fraternity men can't possibly ever give advice on sorority rush.

I just think, depending on the situation, both can give advice on each others rush to some extent.

Except nobody actually made that statement. AF's statement doesn't really go that far -- it's an explanatory response to what you said:

You're infering things people didn't actually say.

I must have had a brain fart this morning because I could have sworn I saw a post about guys never being allowed to give sorority rush advice. Maybe I merged two threads together in my morning haze.

Nothing to see here, carry on.

No, you didn't. I brought it up in response to 408 lol Although, I said we should be deferring to the women on this site.
