As far as the girl who rushed this year, did she have recs? She should have known to have this in place before she rushed. Also, if a group wanted her to join and a rec could not be obtained for her, that is not wholly the fault of the current collegians. But from the sounds of it, she didn't want to pledge anyway. If she says that, I have to believe her.

When I read that article, I interpreted it not as that she didn't
want to, but that she didn't
expect to--meaning that she didn't feel that membership was owed to her. Maybe she suspected that it would end in the way she did. Maybe she kept an open mind, the way we always urge rushees to do. I'd imagine that she was still disappointed--otherwise, why would she come forward?
I'm still not sure why an African-American woman would pursue rush at a school like Bama. You'd have to know that the odds were stacked against you and, if you go public, you've also killed your chances at joining an NPHC chapter if you ever consider that route.
