worriedsenior:
before you are in the system, or have intricate knowledge of the system, maybe you should refrain from bashing the system.
Maybe you should re-read what people have posted in what the look for in a PNM. Money and looks are great and all but if she's going to sit on her ass for a semester and not contribute, not attend, and not show up next year, another group can have her! As far as GPA, that shows me that she worked hard in HS to achieve something, also remember that formal rush is very fake on both sides. Both the sororities and the rushees and putting their best sides forward, and that often means brushing some facts under the table. Would YOU tell a potential employeer that you were indiscreet about your personal relationships. No, I hardly think so , that is not something that comes up in polite convesation. The sisters aren't sitting their going, what your name? age? where are you from? how many people have you slept with?...And as far as that goes, you can usually tell the in a ten minute conversation the girls who want to join a sorority for boys and beer. They are the ones talking about the parties they want to go to, while the worthwhile PNM's are talking about the community service they preformed in HS. SO yeah, your "friends" will probably get a bid somewhere, why does it matter if you are not in there chapter.
On another note:
we have list of words that we are supposed to use, and if these don't fit I have heard some other *colorful* (wink, wink) terms used. But I have never heard in argument in my chapter about looks/weight/ etc. If she is an asset to our chapter she will be one regardless of whether she is a size 6 or 16 or 26.( we must remember that the majority of girls going through rush are well to do, attractive, with good grades, and personality) that does not mean by any means that this is a required thing.If it comes down to 2 girls for a spot and one is an air headed twit, albeit beautiful, rich, smart (on paper) but only wants to join b/c her boyfriend is an XYZ, and someone who is less attractive, not as wealthy, but is gung-ho about taking on chapter responsibilitys, the bid is going to the second girl.
