A Penn State Disney Recruitment!

[DubaiSis]

What I find interesting about how it works at Penn State is that IT WORKS. They end up with great girls who turn into successful leaders in the chapters, the university and in later life. They are able to make significant cuts, minus mountains of recs, and not accidentally end up with girls with horns or rap sheets. They don't have massive multi-million dollar chapter houses to sway girls. What they have is a sisterhood and a chapter room. And it works!

I don't want to get into another discussion about recs, and how they discriminate against girls who aren't from the kind of middle class families where sororities are the thing to do.

But Amen, DubaiSis - Penn State sororities get great girls without much in the way of recs and without everyone memorizing their (photo studio) glamour shots over the summer. It can work!

Doesn't it work this way at most schools outside the SEC or the "absolutely positively need eighteen years of social acclimatization" schools?

I don't think DS's comment was meant to enable an SEC pile-on. I'm sure that there are some girls at Penn State who are jealous every single day of the huge chapter houses they see online and would gladly wade through recs and everything else to have them. The plain fact of the matter is that Penn State doesn't have sorority houses not because they think it's better or enables them to conduct rush on a higher moral plane - it's because there was not room left to build them.
