Today the Daily ran an editorial criticizing the Rush process at Stanford. Specifically, they think it takes too long, making unreasonable demands on rushees' time. This is all kinds of wrong. First of all, Greek organizations are subject to collective responsibility - if one of our member screws up, we can all get in trouble. It takes a while to find out whether someone can be trusted with membership in that environment. But more broadly, Rush is (a) not all that much time (at least for the rushees; the real time burden is setting that stuff up), and (b) a lot of fun. I went out every night freshman year, just because there was free food and fun stuff to do.
Edit: Man, I just cannot spell "responsibility" to save my life!
Update: The Daily publishes my letter in response.
