enough with the cliches
by: Please????Could we PLEASE stop telling PNMs to "go with your gut" or "keep an open mind" or any of the other cliches that are so rampant on this website. How about this? Let's tell them to do rush the way they feel comfortable so that when all is said and done they did it their way, not the way some anonymous person -- who might not even be a student here much less a member of a sorority -- told them to.

"Anyways" is substandard English and people who use it sound like they have the IQ of a turnip, so do yourself a favor and delete it from your vocab. Second, every pther post on this site tells PNMs to "go with your gut." Surely we can be more helpful than that. It is the biggest cliche known to mankind. How about this: "Start trusting yourself and your own judgment. This might be the first time you feel like you are out there alone making an important decision, but it's just the first of many major decisions you will have to make now that you are in college. You have to learn to follow those signs and intuitions (or whatever you want to call them) that are guiding you because ultimately you are the one who knows best what is right for you."

Idk why people our age are so relentless with the "do whatever you want" mentality like you're trying to promote. So you mean to tell me if a girl following her gut instinct in rush isn't the right thing to do? Then what is? People only say that because when people go with the gut instinct instead of trivial things, they tend to pick a chapter they genuinely feel a connection to the sisterhood and feel comfortable. I'm sorry if you found your chapter through seeking an image and feel offended when people say you can do otherwise. I'm sure you could approach recruitment with goals and preconceived notions and end up happy, but the reality is that isn't going to work for most girls. It lowkey breaks my heart when I hear that a girl dropped not because a Greek life wasn't for them, but because they felt they're chapter wasn't. If you go with confidence in your instinct and go where you feel comfortable you'll like your chapter.

I hope the rest of Greektown isn't this trite. Is there a phrase in the English language that is more overused than "go with your gut"? I stopped using that one when I was in about 4th grade, along with fresh as a daisy, avoid like the plague, time heals all wounds and the writing's on the wall.
