RFM also does not help a sick Greek system. You can get a PNM to a bid - but she doesn't have to accept.(you can lead a horse to water, but you cant make him drink)

If tent talk and gossip are so bad, PNMs won't give it a shot, and someone isnt playing nice.

This was definitely part of the problem at Michigan State. One chapter going under, you can blame the chapter. Even two chapters. But four? That's probably the sign of an unhealthy Greek system. I'm just thankful that Greek gossip site that shall not be named didn't exist when I was in school. The tent talk alone was bad enough.

There were a lot of women who had very negative experiences with rush because the chapters most in demand carried many women through preference that they could not bid. There were a lot of bitter women and that hurt the Greek system as well.

I know some of the field reps and national officers who came to help us (and there were many) were really shocked and dismayed by the attitudes displayed by members of our chapter at times (and I include myself in that). I had no Greek background and the internet didn't exist. All I knew about Greek life was what I observed on my own campus and what I observed was not healthy. The idea of sororities supporting each other was totally foreign to us.
