trouble ahead
by: ?????I am a soph in a house that doesn't COB, but my roommate (who is black) told me two freshmen girls from her high school are considering filing a discrimination suit against Greek Life for not considering women of color during informal rush. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I am on exec and my house prob. will do informal next semester. You can bet that we are going to pay attention to the PanHell list because we don't want to be named in a lawsuit. And, also, it's the fair thing to do. In fact, PanHell should insist that houses can ONLY take girls who have signed up on that list. Otherwise, yes, these girls can make a strong case that they were discriminated against if they do all the right things and don't even get an invitation to an event.

Huh? My roommate DID get a bid during formal rush. She's in my house and that's why we're roommates. We're in the same pledge class and are sophomores. The girls who are considering the lawsuit are freshmen this year who she knew from high school. But isn't it interesting that someone assumed that if a white person and a black person are living together that only the white person is in a sorority??????????????

I made a bad assumption that she was trying to cob. I also incorrectly assumed you were a freshman. Sorry. I just would be surprised that any African American who made grade cuts would have less than the max houses to choose from. All houses want diversity-no doubt! even though my house and others are incorrectly accused of racism.

I'm black and was a sophomore and I qualified and I kept the maximum amount of houses each round and the girls I talked to in EVERY house made me feel so comfortable I actually had a hard time cutting houses. This is just a fake post trying to cause drama. Every girl that went through recruitment were looked at the same way and informal is also going to be fair this year as well since PHA is taking over it. So stop whoever you are

are you serious? i'm hispanic and COB'd, and i have a friend who is black who also COB'd. there is no vendetta against people of color. there are so many other factors that go into recruitment and COB, and color is not one of them. stop making stuff up. maybe there would be more people of color in greek life if they RUSHED.

Why did your roommate not get a bid during formal rush? Anyone of color was heavily sought after if they made the grade cuts. My rush crush was grabbed up by another house and dropped us. We were butthurt but she's happy where she is.
