I don't know what's fact and what's fiction. To be like "hey, we're gonna have a dance party rather than get to know the PNM's because we already have our list" doesn't seem egregious to me, if all PNM's are treated the same and don't know who is "in" or who is "out" while visiting the party.

It's the stuff about glitter and piggyback rides that sounds bad...obvious signs that some PNM's are wanted and others aren't is rude.

I think you missed part of 33's post. All of the PNMs are NOT treated equally during a party, and that is the egregious part.

They did this because they allegedly already knew who they wanted and took them in another room and didn't want to bother talking to girls they weren't interested in.

The girls that have already been "chosen" are taken into another room to be rushed. The girls in the "dance party" room are the ones that they are not interested in even getting to know. Plenty of PNMs know about this. Can you imagine the pain of being in the dance party room?

All that being said - how dare you - "pineapple". Spreading a vicious stereotype about your own fellow alumna? How about Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison? How about the alum on the 14th Court of Appeals? How about me - second career after staying home with my kids and being the wife/mom and needing more? I am now the Director of Development at non-profit - and breaking records. I know I'm not of "below" average intelligence. I own no David Yurman jewelry.

I was not speaking about you. I was speaking about the current membership in the house. Period. And you don't know me, you don't anything about me. The fact remains that YOUR house is very disliked on this campus. They break the rules and laugh in Panhellenic's face about it. They are beyond rude to the PNMs who have devoted their time to a process that should be inclusive. You might not like what I have to say, but have you considered volunteering your time and getting involved and making the change you would like to see in YOUR house? And maybe below average intelligence was not the right term. For that I apologize. It would have been better to state the fact that "continually ranks in the lower half of the UT Panhellenic Sorority GPAs". That is nothing but fact. But I agree you can't equate GPA with intelligence but it is clear the value toward excellence in grade achievement is not there.

And for reference my screen name is not Pineapple. It is Pinapple. It is a combination of the word Pin (as in a sorority pin) and apple. A pineapple is a fruit.

Mea culpa. That is indeed egregiously rude.
