Politically Correct terms?

[gphiangel624]

I agree with ktsnake on his view of why the terms were changed, and with everyone who feels "recruitment" sounds more like a military term. I've never had a problem with the terminology, but I found it funny once when I mentioned that I was an "active" of my chapter- a guy at my school said something about how "active" could be taken as the connotation of sexually active, which is, of course, just one more stereotype we Greeks get to deal with. So I guess we can't win either way.

I have a question though- why can the guys and most non-NPC/IFC Greeks orgs still refer to it as "rush" and "pledge" and NPC cannot? I just don't understand why NPC has to be on the high horse about being politically correct when it doesn't really seem to offend anyone else...
