Also, a recruitment counselor is disaffiliated and has nothing to do with her sorority's recruitment decisions during that period.

When I was a recruitment counselor, I grew very close to "my girls." I was devastated if any of them didn't receive a bid and would have loved for them to have been part of a sorority. I absolutely encouraged them to try again, but it wasn't because I thought they would get a bid from my group and I had no say in that matter. I said it because I had come to regard them as friends in that short week during recruitment, I was sad that they were sad, and I believed that they would be an asset to a sorority based on their interest and personalities.
