I just remember what it was like to go through recruitment as a PNM, and then as a collegiate sister. We had no free time and we were exhausted by day's end... all I wanted to do was have dinner with my roommates and go to sleep. Then again, this was before the internet was very popular.
I think many people use message boards, My Space, Facebook, as an evening "unwind" at the conclusion of their day... So I can understand people signing on and posting story updates. In the past, as someone said, we would have journaled or read a few pages from a novel before going to bed.
I do think PNMs would be much better served to journal their experience offline and then post it on GC once they had a chance to live the experience and perhaps edit their impressions for public consumption. But that's a personal decision. I wish the best of luck to everyone pursuing membership this school year, and to the sorority women going through membership selection. Both sides will experience a lot of ups and downs throughout.
As anyone who has been through this process can attest, recruitment is simultaneously the best and worst week of your life.
