The Bottom Line: SORORITY LIFE...

[Shine]

"barbie slut pledges vs. stuffy bitch actives"...

Sigma's rules are based on what has been considered acceptable to the past sisters and pledges of the sorority. When they're used to having girls with similar interests to them come out to rush, and then suddenly when MTV shows up and they get women totally on the other end of the spectrum, there needs to be rules set to maintain the image of SigmaAEPi that the women that founded it desired to portray. Every sorority has the right to only accept members that they think will fit the ideals of their house.

I honestly think some of the house pledges would have been better off to go through Panhellenic Recruitment and find a house with women that had more in common with them. Their blatant disregard for the house rules is embarassing and reflects poorly on their judgement, and on the sorority itself. It appears most of the time that they care less about the sisterhood and image of the sorority they are pledging than their next beer or screwdriver.

However, what they do on their own time, outside of Sigma functions should not be something the active sisters are able to regulate, and the pledgemasters confronting the girls for what they choose to do on their own time is both wrong and rude.

Sigma shouldn't have to change their ideals for every pledge class, and the pledges shouldn't have to change who they are to be acceptable to their sorority.

The bottom line is that the "house pledges" and Sigma aren't a good fit for each other.
