One Girl’s Heartbreaking Tale Of Why She Dropped Recruitment — And Why It Needs To Ch

Yet another idiot who thinks the guys get off scot free because they rush differently. If anything, I think a rejection in rush is more devastating to guys, because 1) it's usually based much more on personality 2) they usually had to choose where to rush often with knowing a very small fraction of the groups, if they've made the wrong choice it's worse.

At least reading this article makes it abundantly clear why her sparkling resume and professional rush pictures didn't get her a bid.

Thought I would bump this and to this day, I think--how dare a non-Greek say that the Greeks have to change? Entitled bitch.

I always have to laugh at these kinds of “articles.” Poorly written, First World Problems to the nth degree and rife with their own entitlement and classism…yet how DARE someone reject THEM?

OMG there’s a sorority someone can’t afford to join! CHANGE THE SYSTEM! ABOLISH IT!!!!

(Meanwhile we live in a world where a community college in CA is now allowing students to sleep overnight in one of their lots because there are so many homeless students there).

I wonder where this girl is today….if she’s whining to her friends that someone who never babysat had a baby instead of her, or maybe complaining that since she worked harder than anyone else and gave to charity she should have gotten a promotion instead of the person who did.

Maybe she’s on Reddit Antiwork? I just saw a post from someone who was horrified to discover other people at work (presumably doing different/harder jobs) made significantly more than they did. The nerve!

I get the impression that for the women, rush week is the most stressful and pledging is easier. For guys, it's definitely the reverse. The men are just looking for guys that they would like to hang around with and who wouldn't be an embarrassment to their letters.
