<p>Great observation, imasophomore. I could not agree more. I didn’t rush because I thought it was stupid. I also hated the idea of being told what to do by another “kid” only a couple of years older. </p>
<p>The Greek system is a way of separating people into the in crowd and out crowd. I don’t have a problem with joining exclusive groups, but I think membership should be based on a specific, relevant TALENT. I went out for sports teams in high school and college. When I made a team it was based on talent, not on my looks, or my family pedigree or income, race, religion, or whether some snot-nosed upper classman thought I was cool enough to “fit in.” </p>
<p>I find the whole idea of rushing for a fraternity or sorority repugnant. I’m so glad my college daughters have either refused to attend a college that has Greek life or simply refused to participate.</p>
