We greeks KNOW our membership intake processes, WELL. And we know the reasons one is rejected. And usually it is because of irrefutable circumstances, such as low GPA or under 12 units prior and during application submission...
Then there are SEVERAL "checks and balances" made between the local chapter and its National officers...
Moreover if you have ever in your life attended a Rush, that "in between time" and actual notification, believe me--it is being EXTENSIVELY used...

i was not refuting your PROCESS...you cannot say that it is inappropriate for someone to act a certain way after being rejected...only that person knows how much they wanted it...and ONLY that person knows how much it hurt THEM...i have nothing against the process...i never even said she deserved a reason for being rejected...nor do i believe she does...i believe my exact words were...it is easy to say that from the other side...once you have already made it...those that have only been in for a while...in my experience SEEM to forget all the pains of getting there and are quick to tell someone else that is rejected to suck it up and press on...(i like that borrowed term ya'll use)...i'll be damned if after finding out my friend had been rejected that i tell her to suck it up and press on...i saw the pain in her face and it was real...maybe you misunderstood what i said...maybe you didn't and just extended your comment...who knows...but your process is your right...being hurt is a rejects right...
peace and blessings...
