If you wrote a glowing rec for someone, then again, it isn't so odd to me.

Here's my personal request to all alums who want to know where their PNM ended up pledging. (Note I'm referring to a campus with over 1,000 women going recruitment, but others may feel the same way.) Please do not call the house on Bid Day and expect them to happily track down which Chapter your girl pledged.
First, these actives have been working hard all week. Now they want to relax and enjoy the celebration with their new pledge class. Second, we often don't get the full list of where everyone pledged until later in the day. Third, we get one copy of this list and try to keep it safe. On this exciting day no one wants to take the time to go run copies and have to keep track of all of them. So all I'm asking is please wait until at least the day after.
But above all I beg of you, if your PNM did not get a bid to your GLO please do not call the Chapter and start ripping the poor active who answered the phone a new one. At a minimum ask for the Recruitment Chair or President. Actually as a Chapter Advisor I instruct all members to direct those sorts of calls to me because I won't tolerate my girls being abused by an alum, which is what so often happens in these situations.
Just keep in mind regardless of who you talk to, they are not allowed to divulge specifics of the selection process even to alums. You were in their shoes once, please remember how difficult it can be to make these decisions.
