Let's face it - rush & sorority membership just isn't the same as it was when I went through years ago.I keep wishing that it could be the same for my daughters and other special girls I know. The often demeaning, exhausting process for nervous freshman girls, the costs involved which often give you only 1 yr in the house(I had 3 and that was my favorite part of sorority life and the BEST way to make true bonds with your sisters by living with them as a family)Now we have huge pledge classes that end up in cliques.I've been writing recs for yrs sending them to UGA. They end up pledging girls who depledge - would love to know the % who depledge/deactivate. That was practically unheard of back in the 80's. The whole process needs a major overhaul - it's archaic. If things don't get better, I'm afraid many girls will forego rush and alum support will diminish. Good luck, panhellenc, I think you're heading for a bumpy ride!
