I agree - it's annoying. We make this big fuss about choosing the right kind of girl to be in our house - well spoken, academically successful, socially connected, strong reputations, school leaders, well-mannered and honestly, women who we believe exhibit maturity and good judgement. But then we don't allow them the responsibility of running their own houses, selecting their own pledge classes, choosing their own exec board? I personally think we are a bit hypocritical in that way - alumnae are supposed to advise. Not control. But it just doesn't play out as logically as that. To be fair, few things in life do. I personally think it would be really interesting to see what would happen if a house was allowed to "ditch" the alumnae factor for a full year. I think the alumnae assume it would fall apart. The reality is, the chapters, would do just fine. We are talking about college women, not 14 year olds. But that's just my opinion and I know it's an unpopular one, so bring on the horrified responses I suppose.
