Why in the world should a lady be expected to join a house she didn't want to?

HotdamnIamaphimu, I guess thats fair, assuming I am nit picking just to nit pick.

And I do have a fair understanding of the process of formal rush.

However, these kinds of topics, and the more intellegent responses in them, give me a better idea of the concepts behind formal rush, what the abstract goals are, the application, the variation among campuses, as well as how effective the results.

So what we do is examine the results in the context of the goals of formal rush and then look at how the process of rush supports that.

Navane's response was among the most helpful because thats the way I meant the question. Plus, her taking the tact of examining girl-culture and some of the thought processes going on was insightful.

I'm not a huge fan of James' starting these threads questioning the operations of the NPC.

Seems to me like it's perfectly rational to be like, "Hey, I don't get why girls have to list x number of groups on their cards, even if they would only consider one of those groups." To ask honest questions and want honest answers.

That's not really what this is though. James certainly understands the concepts behind formal rush -- probably more so than any other male on here -- so why stir stuff up just to stir stuff up?

Our rush system isn't perfect, but right now, it's the best that we have to work with. James has basically pointed out a problem that isn't a problem -- as you ladies demonstrated -- so..... what's the point?
