University of Texas Recruitment 2014

Yea, I'm having a hard time with telling PNMs to respect all groups and behave politely and then winking or condoning absolutely dismissive behavior from actives who are supposed to be living up to standards.

I wondered when I first heard this, and I wonder now...where is nationals for this group and the piggy back group?

Y'all are reading me the wrong way. I'm not saying this is the way sorority women should act, nor do I approve of it. But you know the expression "let your freak flag fly"? These girls are letting their jerk (that's not the 4 letter word I wanted to use) flag fly. And there are probably rushees who are a lot less hurt because of it. Quite frankly, the thing that has me clutching my pearls is that they act like this and still remain high in the campus's social pecking order. Or their national group's good graces. Those are the groups that should be condemning this action, not me. But those groups apparently don't mind, so yeah, if you are that kind of closed minded snob, I'd rather know straight up.

I think we just need to agree that we are on different wave lengths and there is little hope that they will ever cross. And on the rare times they have, I have questioned myself.

Well, I think we both agree that these girls are jerks for being so closed minded. We merely differ on when and how we prefer they convey that fact.

I don't know which groups these are (for all I know it could be my own) but my first guess would be that the UT alumnae are in some way more powerful that the national organization. If they weren't the national organization would have stopped it by now.
