Dirty Rushing, Ratting Each other out?????

Ok I may be a little nieve, but why can't everyone mind their own business??? I hear all this talk about dirty rushing??? What is that paying someone to join...gimme a break. I honestly don't see how someone can rush dirty. If someone wants to join an orginization there gonna join, no matter how many petty rules you have. Nowadays it seems everyone is more worried what the other person is doing than minding their own business. It reminds me of an old lady looking out here window all the time to see what her neighbors are up to. Panhellenic Council, FIPG..etc. they all need to go away. Something that was supposed to be fun has now turned into a buerocracy(spell check)that rivals the government. Honestly speaking, how many organizations are out there to "manage" greek organizations. You have Sor. and Fraternities always looking for a way to "run to the teacher" "teacher, teacher, guess who I saw doing this or that today!!! Everyones supposed to be in college not grade school. Grow up! Mind your own business!!

If it wasn't for these governing bodies, we wouldn't have the greek system we do today. Many college chapters would not be established, maybe even your own. I don't think that anyone here is "ratting" ut anyone else. There has been topics about dirty rushing. Dirty rushing is a very serious thing and rules are important. If we didn't have rules, nothing would get done. We would be social clubs, nothing more. How do you feel about someone going up to one of your prospective pledges(who up to this point, really want to join your sorority) and tells them a whole bunch of nasty lies? I don't think that you would be too happy. That is dirty rushing. Doing whatever you can to steal prospective pledges. Buying prospective pledges drinks is even a great big no-no. You are trying to persuade them in the wrong ways. Girls should not decide to pledge a sorority because the sisters bought them drinks. They should join because they like what the sorority stands for.

All of our governing bodies are not out to make things hard, they are here to help and to preserve greek life. I believe that greek orgs. would have died out if it wasn't for them.

Anjin - Mikki is right, we need some sort of rules for rush, otherwise it is just too disorganized. I've been on a campus where they did COB when 1st semester freshmen were rushing and it was a mess.

As far as dirty rushing - a lot of it depends on the time of your rush. If your main rush is 1st semester freshmen before the school year starts people are a lot more strict about it. If people don't rush till 2nd semester or sophomore year, a lot of the time it's a moot point - those people have seen enough to form their opinions.

Have you had problems with your Panhel on this? If people are saying things like "The Omega Mus are all sluts" then that's something that should be disciplined. But if people are getting anal & busting on people for stupid things, then everyone needs to chill.
