As a Rho Gamma, I had a girl in my group miss round 3 of recruitment for a "family event". Justin Timberlake happened to be in town the very same day. If I were going to the concert, I would leave at the same time this PNM said she would have to leave. Before she left, she came to the Armory before the parties (wearing a low cut green tunic tank with black leggings and leopard print pumps) and ranked her chapters for the next round. I had a suspicion that she was not going to a family event. She had a full schedule of six very desirable chapters for skit, but only got one invite to preference. Fortunately for her, it was her favorite chapter and she did end up with a bid there.

This PNM was very lucky. With no documentation, she could have easily been cut by all of her remaining chapters. However, she was very personable and was only cut by 2 chapters (out of 14) before skit round. She really made a connection with members of the chapter that she pledged during recruitment and she was also a freshman.

It's a huge risk to take to miss part of recruitment for any reason, stupid or legit, and you will probably be cut by competitive chapters in particular. Competitive chapters have to make the most cuts and they often have to look for a reason, any reason to cut someone. It's a long shot for you being a junior to begin with, but you'll never know if it'll work out if you don't at least try. Good luck to you.
