sc panhellenic leadership

Ladies at SC Panhellenic Leadership:
It is my firm belief that you are not addressing the root of the problem appropriately. Requesting a 48-hour truce will not solve the problem and the chances of anyone adhering to it is slim to none.
Here are my suggestions (take it or leave it).
Delay formal rush until the second semester and get to know PNMs on a more informal basis during the first semester. Each house will be better equipped to weed out any wild cards.
Train the leadership in each house about signs to look out for in psychologically troubled members. It's a more difficult issue to tackle if the leadership is troubled, itself. Have counseling readily available. There isn't anything that can make up for poor parenting, but at least, these girls will have a resource.
Change the quotas around so that the most "popular" PNMs are spread around to different houses year after year. The chance of elitism in any one or few houses is greatly diminished and the original tenets of fraternities remain in tact.

Obviously you aren't part of the current sorority system. Please save your comments for something you might actually know something about.

Really? You are just making Panhellenic look like one farcical mess. You or your friends create a truce that you yourself do not adhere to. I am a parent of a daughter considering rush (as I try to dissuade her from joining such a dysfunctional system). I, myself, was in a sorority at a different university and this kind of entitled behavior would be seen as deplorable by all counts. What you fail to realize is that parents, such as myself, and other benefactors who generously endow millions of dollars towards the university are becoming increasingly aware of how harmful the Greek system has been to USC's image and reputation. Many have expressed that significant changes should be made. Don't be too sure of yourself, as you may find the panhellenic leadership under scrutiny in the near future.

We think you are just a troll. No one thinks or writes like you.
If you are real, tell your daughter to stay clear of the row. We don't need you, her or your money. We are doing just fine.
Thanks!

Really? More like, you don't think or write like me. Your intellectual abilities are clearly lacking and your emotional maturity appears to be that of a 13 year old - "We don't need you, her or your money...Thanks!" If you truly are a representative of Panhellenic, it is no wonder it is a complete circus. Perhaps, everyone should consider ousting you before it's too late.
As for my daughter, I've already told her to stay clear of the row. Reread my post and improve your reading comprehension while you're at it. The Greek system at USC is far too toxic and dysfunctional for any normally functioning person. You're a perfect example of it.

Neither of you will be missed in the slightest.
I hope someday your daughter (if you really have one) sees you for the overbearing helicopter b-itch you are.

Of course, neither of us would be missed. I never said that we would be. But, there we go again with the reading comprehension problem. And what's with the name calling? "B-itch?" Now, "Really?," with all due respect, didn't you or one of your friends request a truce from negative comments and for some civility? Somewhat hypocritical, don't you think?

How can you expect me to have perfect reading comprehension? I've only been at USC for 2 years. Do you think that is enough time to learn how to read perfect? Wow.. you are just so judgemental and mean. I am working on it! OK?!?

@Ridiculous, you aren't representing yourself very well, either. You come on here saying that the Greek system is toxic and that you don't want your daughter in that kind of environment, but then you turn around and insult girls who are 20-30 years younger than you, who were only defending something that they are apart of and that they love. You aren't being a good example for your daughter by coming on an anonymous website and putting other people down! Insulting a college student's reading comprehension and memory, over and over again?? Really? Way to built others up, Mom! I can understand your decision that you don't want your daughter to be a part of this, but it is also HER decision. You taking the time to come on here and insult people you don't even know isn't going to sway your daughter's decision on whether you rush or not. It doesn't help you at all! It is just degrading other people. Is this how you want your daughter to act? I sure hope not!
Since you said that people have suggested that significant changes need to be made, why didn't you come on here and nicely suggest things that you think should be changed to help make the Greek system better? Since you were/are Greek, you might have some ideas. If all you're going to do is come on here and insult something that the majority of the people commenting on this website are a part of, then you just need to close your laptop and rethink your decisions and the example you're setting for all of these college students.

Wow, you state in your post, "Since you said that people have suggested that significant changes need to be made, why didn't you come on here and nicely suggest things that you think should be changed to help make the Greek system better? Since you were/are Greek, you might have some ideas."
If you read my initial post, you would see that I did make suggestions. However, like "Really?", you're selecting phrases and sentences out of context. Reread my posts and "Really"'s posts and you'll see you're just as guilty of a very skewed perception of the SC Greek system. Additionally, it isn't my daughter's decision alone to join the Greek system if we're paying for the dues, etc. It becomes a parental decision, as well. When she is on her own and able to support herself, then she can do as she pleases. I'm not surprised, though, that you feel it's the student's decision, because I think most of you and your peers think you're adults, when in fact, you're still just children. When you go into the real world, you'll see the difference.

I obviously did read your initial post, along with all of your other ones, and all of really?'s posts, as well. That is why I replied back to you in the first place. I just read your first post yet again and not once did I see you nicely suggesting ideas to help make the USC Greek system better. Not once! And please don't reply to this and say that I have reading comprehension issues because I clearly do not. I read and understood every single word that you typed. All you said was that you think the Greek system is toxic, that you don't want your daughter to rush, that people have said that changes need to be made, and that you think that the Panhellenic leadership will probably be under scrutiny in the near future. I'm sorry to disappoint you, but none of those were nice suggestions to better the USC Greek system.
I do not have a skewed perception of the SC Greek system. Just like you, I am not even a part of it! I am not defending or degrading the Greek system here. I am simply stating that you are being hypocritical in your posts.

If you are paying the dues for your daughter to be Greek, then it is 100% your decision, and 0% hers. You will either pay for it or you won't. So why don't you just get this all over with and tell her that you don't want her to go Greek and therefore you won't pay for it?
It is her decision whether she wants to go Greek or not, not whether she does go Greek or not. You can't decide what she WANTS for her. But you can decide what she GETS until she is on her own and able to support herself. What I said in my first post was that you coming on this website and insulting girls that you don't know that are a whole generation younger than you will not sway your daughter's decision on whether she wants to go Greek or not. My whole point of replying to your post was to say that you shouldn't say that you don't want your daughter to be part of this toxic environment, and then turn around and be a toxic influence to college students on an anonymous website. You should be building others up, not tearing others down. I hope that your daughter does go Greek and that she can be part of what turns the Greek system around for the better, instead of judging the Greek system from the outside and not doing anything to improve it.

Changing rush would change the kind of members you attract and the overall dynamic between the sororities.
