Reading this thread has been eye-opening to say the least!
Recruitment at my Georgia school (Columbus State) is not NEARLY as taxing as recruitment at UGA! I got sick just reading about the process there! I used to think that if I went to a larger school that I would join a GLO with no problems but now I'm SO glad that I chose a smaller school with a smaller Greek system.
Man, would it be nice to have over 100 PNMs go through Rush at CSU! It would be a luxury to cut so many legacies but here, if you're a legacy, you are almost guaranteed a bid from the legacy group (unless your grades are low or you did something stupid...). I know now that at a larger school I might not have found such a great home in AOII (who knows? I might have been cut the first round or something.). It just goes to show that G-d really does have a plan, even regarding going Greek!
However, we Greeks fight stereotypes all the time and its the larger systems like these that just strengthen those stereotypes, you know? I wish there was a better way with much less heartbreak... and the heartbroken just fuel the stereotypes again in a vicious circle...
I'm probably just rambling now, but PHEW! Congrats to all the Greeks who survived recruitment at larger SEC schools and found their homes!
