Ahh, thanks so much for the info, VP. I see what you're saying about how it makes sense on one hand, but oh, the torture for the PNMs! And I wonder if it's tough on the chapters to have a break in "momentum" like that, although, looking at the "other hand" again, you can see them coming back from holiday break all charged up and ready to rush (versus now in the middle of the semester when they have mid-terms, etc.).
And the worst part is, it keeps us hanging here on GC. Doesn't the office of greek life at IU realize there are people out here waiting to find out whether she got invited back to her top 12 or not?? So inconsiderate.
