Calling an 18-year old's outfit selection for rush "pond scum" is pretentious and lame. Note that the women on this board have offered suggestions but not judgements. There's a difference!

Does anyone read what was actually said? The quote was "pond life" not "pond scum". These have very different meanings, and by the way, the comment was my sister's, a Greek alumna, who would seem to me to be well qualified to offer her opinion.
