I was doing the rounds surfing the Yahoo news feed and came across this article that y'all might find interesting. Imagine my surprise that Greek Chat and the OP are being quoted in this national article.

"On the Greek Chat forum in a recent thread called “Am I pretty enough for rush?” someone under the name 28StGreek wrote, “At USC, a freshman PMN (potential new member)—what is going to really affect her rush is: who she is, who she knows, and especially how she looks. And if she does not have any recs, but looks like a Victoria’s Secret Angel, then she is probably going to get a full list of invites each round.” 28StGreek wrote that telling girls to keep an open mind is dangerous advice, and that it would be better to just admit the truth: “How a PNM physically looks, and her size, is a real factor in a PNM’s chances during rush; at some schools definitely, and perhaps at most schools.”"

Well bless my heart, I certainly made myself look ignorant and foolish. And I ended up doing exactly what LABlondeGPhi warned against.

I do stand by my meaning in what I was trying to write; but I definitely admit and accept that I should have articulated it much better, and I should have put my ideas in the proper context.
