Oh, I feel so nerdy. :P I've been checking daily to see updates from you and PPT! Haha. Good luck to the both of you and I can't wait to hear the rest of the story.

They said anywhere from 9pm-2am

Yeah...were all still obsessively checking our emails hahah

Good luck to both of you. =)

I'm really rooting for both of you!!!!

Good luck to both of you! Please keep us posted!

Anys news yet PNM?

I was wondering the same thing...

I didn't get invited back...I don't understand and I never will
I have no idea what they were looking for then because so many other great girls I know that have wanted this for a long time too were cut in favor of those who decided to do it on a whim and have no desire or drive to build a colony

I'm done with Greekchat and recruitment forever. The whole process is truly messed up
thanks for the kind words everyone
Bye.

I'm so sorry, PNM.

You're right that you never will know why you didn't get asked back, so don't dwell on it. You said you met a lot of great girls, so at least you made some friends out of this. Good luck with whatever you choose to do.

PNM, I am sorry; it's very difficult/hard when recruitment doesn't end the way we want or expect or hope it will. No one here knows what the Alpha Phi colony is seeking, and it wouldn't be possible for anyone to comment even if he/she did know. That said, I truly wish you the best of luck in the future with whatever you decide.

This is such a bummer! It is certainly easier as a bystander to say hey, you screwed up, you didn't consider all of your options, whatever, but for both of these gals, they seemed to do everything right, have the attitude, the ambition, and courtesy that should have been just what any of the sororities would want. I just wish I could hug both of them and tell them it will all be ok. At least PNM and PPT have each other and they know they aren't going through this alone. But that's not much consolation! I'm so sorry.

I'm really sad to hear this, and I'm sorry. :(

What she said. It's really a shame when a system has no place for such open-minded, motivated PNMs.

Maybe I'm completely out of touch, and if I am, I'm sure you'll tell me - but this story and the one from other young woman at FSU make me think that maybe something could be reworked on this campus?

I mean, from the outside, it sounds like there are plenty of women who want to be in a sorority, but aren't, for whatever reason getting chosen. Grades? OK, that's one thing. But rejected because you aren't a Freshman? I don't get it.

But the fact that a new colony has space for 170 and has 360 interested (and presumably mostly qualified) applicants? It sounds to me that supply is not meeting demand. Which, at least to me, says that they might want to take a long hard look at things.

It just seems a little lopsided.

Am I oversimplifying? Probably - but it's stories like this that make me feel bad about the system I'm a part of.
