Oh for sure. i think it was on GC that I read that at some schools there was a phenomenon that girls signed up for recruitment only for the benefit of moving into the dorms early.

At the same time while it does weed out PNMs who are not prepared for Greek Life; it is a double-edged sword in that it doesn't terribly dispel the stereotype of Going Greek as nothing more than a symbol of wealth/privilege.
