I normally love recruitment stories. This year hurts my brain.

On campuses where there are old, strong recruiting locals, along with newer nationals and service orgs that are functioning as socials, and they are all folded into the same council and sharing the same recruiting structure/s....it can be a strange world, far removed from the organized and fairly straightforward systems many of us experienced. I think the OP is describing the chaos she experienced.

Thank you KatMandu! You are 100% correct. I was trying to describe the chaos as best as I could but I ended up confusing and frustrating people more.

Jess, it's a new day. Here is your next task. Take a writing class. Learn to edit your thoughts into cohesive sentences and paragraphs. Don't hit send after you've just put down a stream of consciousness. That only worked for Faulkner. Be straightforward in your communication. That'd be a great start!

And back away from GC for a while, since you're finished with whatever it is you tried to describe. Put a period at the end of the sentence, this chapter is finished.

Jess, this is the best possible advice you could receive written in the nicest possible way. Please take it to heart, and remember the way that you communicate-- written or otherwise, is what you present to the world and will affect the way the world perceives your intelligence and abilities. In other words, it does matter. Good luck in your future endeavors.

So i normally write better than what I have showed you all. Actually to tell the truth i have always had an A or higher in English and writing classes.

suggested edits. Probably could be tightened up more.

You are right. I just made it tolerable, so it wouldn't make my head throb trying to read it! LOL ;)

Oh, how I love students who tell me "I got a C? (or D, or F) I never get below an A in English!"

Sorry, Cupcake, in my class you don't get a B for breathing.

Can someone please PNM me the school? I am truly dying to understand this chaotic Greek system and want to check out the schools website.

To the OP: Step away from the keyboard. Do not press "post quick reply". Focus on your studies. Learn to use correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. AZTheta tried to say it nicely. I'm saying it bluntly. My first graders, from last school year, understood those basic concepts, as an 18-20 year old, you should too.
