I really wish that the Greek Life office at my school would have told girls
before recruitment that membership selection is totally private and will not be discussed with any nonmembers. I remember that a lot of disappointed PNMs would be on the phone, or IM or Facebook with their friends after the PNM's were dropped from the friends' chapters: "Why didn't I get in??? I'm so upset! Why didn't you guys take me?"
It was uncomfortable for everyone and nothing the sorority friends could offer was comforting to the sad PNMs. I really wish that someone in charge of recruitment would have issued some blanket statment on what to do if you didn't receive a bid. PNMs should really be told that asking why they didn't get a bid is inappropriate, that sororities often have to make tough decisions and that a PNM might have a successful next recruitment, and that they can talk to someone in the Greek Life office if they need support in the event that they're dropped from recruitment or their favorite chapter. It would save everyone a lot of hassle and discomfort if there was a definite protocol for this situation.
