Ruminate

When I was in a sorority (read: I am better than you), we had a process of discussing potential candidates (rushees) that was designed to (1) stay positive and (2) stay on task.  It was simple: for each rushee, a sister could only say three things about the aforementioned rushee - preferrably in one word or a short phrase - and the sister had to start and end on a good note.  Pro - Con - Pro.  My guess is that the process was also designed for us to not sound like totally materialistic bitches or at least to give the impression that we weren't total bitches.  As a sidenote, to no one's surprise, we used the words "cute" and "nice" as veiled "cons" (example: Sara Brown: Cute, socially awkward, and nice).  I'm pretty sure that women in the South are much better at the veiled "cute" and "nice" adjectives, but we tried.  Moving along . . . in this same vein I will try to keep posts generally positive.  It is my goal and destiny.  Pro, Con, Pro.
