I am indeed a betting woman, but there's no way of determining if anyone who cut NO sororities was also cut from every sorority, so there would be no way for me to prove you were wrong so you could deliver not $10, but my payoff of preference: tickets to the opening game of the World Series, which will be held in Philadelphia (now there's something we actually could bet on)

Seriously, though: The problem is that everyone (dream girls and gremlins alike) drops the same "bottom tier" sororities after the first rounds - exactly the groups who might have provided them a happy home in Happy Valley. So there probably are women who "maximize their chances" in the most formal sense of the phrase, but they still screw up their own chances early on by dropping the groups most likely to want them.

If this is going to get like that recruitment stories thread where everyone was raving about Texas Food, then I'm going to have to start another thread.

Which will actually be about Penn State recruitment rather than grilled stickies, Creamery Ice Cream (does it taste as good in the new building???) or any other Centre County Delicacies.

Oh, and what's the deal with this (from the article at the beginning of this thread): "Jenkins also stressed the importance of following the code of conduct, which includes the rule where no rushing sisters are allowed in the fraternity houses from 8 p.m. until midnight." What's a rushing sister? Do they mean current sorority members (most likely) or PNMs? What's the purpose of this rule?

To answer your question, it probably means that sorority women are not allowed to go out to fraternity houses to decrease the chances that they will see PNMs there and engage in dirty recruiting. I'd imagine that's why, anyway.



PM me! I'd love to set something up.

And now the real reason I bumped this thread-- the women I've met so far have been so great! We really do have some stand out women going through recruitment so far and I am so happy to be a part of it all. Three more days until bid day and I can't wait. Prayers and good thoughts would be much appreciated right now. I'll let you know numbers as soon as I know them. :)

NO!!! NO!! NO!!! It's the famous Ye Olde College Diner, with the famous Penn State Ye Olde College Diner Stickey Buns. It's not Eat N Park, it's not Denney's, it's not Sonic, it's not the goddamn Red Rabbit. It's the Penn State Diner.

Now, back to discussing PENN STATE'S SORORITY RECRUITMENT.
