And by the same token, let’s not pretend that when Greek orgs squawk about first amendment rights or “it helps freshmen grades” or “we can give freshmen a support system” that the main thing they’re sad about is not providing those services. It’s all about the Benjamins baby. They have a house to fill and believe freshmen are better because they will pay 4 years’ dues instead of 3 years (note: this only works if they actually stay active all 4 years).
And re carnation’s comment- if I make friends with someone and sleep over at their house, how on earth is that “cheating”? It’s part of building a friendship. We can pretend all we want that pre-freshman rush keeps things “fair” but we all know that isn’t the case. We might all be better off and have a lot less disappointed rushees (male and female) if we stopped kidding ourselves.
