Christmas stressing you out OTW?
Here's the clarification you asked for so "nicely"
I think it's silly that a secondary recruitment event cant be held within NPC guidelines, even if a house is at total. There will obviously be less girls, so why not raise total by 15 to accomodate 15 new pledges? Isn't that what pretty much happens during formal? I mean maybe like 20 girls graduate beforehand, but quota may be 35 during formal, meaning that mathematically- they go over by 15. Get my drift? See why I said it was silly?
Also, I meant to imply that they advertised winter informal
heavily without having full "permission" to actually hold the events. Now think about that carefully and what it implies about the organization.
While I know otherwise, others don't care to find out what happened without making judgement.
And I said success as in how many girls would
participate. The last time a winter informal was held, only about 30 girls attended. However, there were many many more than that expressing interest this time. While I'm sure some of it was just talk, I definitely knew more than 30 girls who were planning on attending recruitment solely because they didn't want to be on the PNM side of formal.
Anyway, despite interpretations, I think its great nearly all chapters are a total; and I agree that since the rules are as such, it would be ridiculous to hold an informal for only 2 spots. I'm not a moron to think it would be fiscally responsible to organize a 3 day long event for two spots that can be filled through a COB basis.
OH! I'm definitely not a poor sport. Sh*t happens. Life goes on. I made a lot of great friends from the experience and am pretty stoked about that. I've never been a b*tch on this board or made rude comments regarding my campus or chapters on my campus. I think I've kept it pretty PC, which uh, duh, implies I have a bit of class and am a good sport. If you read my thread and the experience I went through during formal, you'd see that I had it pretty rough and I've kept a good attitude when others would have cracked. I had the normal self-doubts, but then again, who wouldn't?
