i echo the others in saying i'm proud of you for hanging in. keep your head up and a smile on your face. give it your all, and see how things end.

Keep your head up, girl! You might be asked back to some houses from first round later on - or you might end up loving the 2 houses that "kept" you.

Thanks for the update and good luck! :)

TarHeel,
Since I'm right down the road at NCSU, I have a lot of friends in the houses at UNC...several things to think about...sadly, UNC lost two chapters this past Spring, so rush will be a little different for all parties involved this time - they are used to having the two other houses, I'm not sure how that will affect numbers (I guess quota would just rise, but I don't know enough about the numbers game to know if the loss of two chapters would affect things). Also, go to as many rounds as you can...sometimes chapters really shine you when you get to later rounds (especially Pref.) - so don't give up. All of the houses are awesome! I can't wait to hear the continuation of the story! And good luck with invites! I'm crossing my fingers for you!!

Dagnabbit..... :mad:

why why why WHY does NPC keep up this ridiculous facade?? Why can't they just say "at certain schools, you need a rec or you will be SOL." It would be a lot more honest for everyone involved.

end of vent.

anyway, good luck TarHeelGirl...as everyone said sometimes the difference between the first impression and second impression you get of a sorority is immense!! I hope these work out for you.

It is really annoying - those schools should just say: "At Competitive State U, nearly every sorority requires a recommendation. If you are having trouble finding one, here are several local alumnae panhellenics for Mobile, Birmingham, Chicago, LA, New York, etc, who will be happy to assist you with recommendations." I think a lot of wonderful women get overlooked because they believed this hooey from Panhell.

Hang in there! You never know how the chapters may surprise you! Keep your chin up and good luck as you finish your recruitment week!

Valid points, exlurker. Even at my chapter, which is one of the most non-traditional Gamma Phi (and probably NPC chapters) a rec would not hurt you. I would say if you are in doubt, get them. Yes, if a chapter really really loves you, they might scrounge one up for you - but not when there are 80 other rushees they really really love who already have recs.

good luck thg!!! i am glad that you are giving the chapters another chance. stick with it through pref before you make a decision about whether or not you belong. i will be sending good wishes your way!!!

Im so sorry you were cut, I understand what its like though I was cut after 2nd nite from like everyone but 3 houses and I didnt see myself there, Im glad youre sticking it out. Ididnt but that was my decision b/c of my grades. but anyways good luck I hope everything goes well.
