I was trying to explain the hooking up issue, but there a multiple situations in which hooking up can affect recruitment:

These are just the ones I can think of, but I am sure there are tons more. And yes, I've actually seen this stuff happen and ruin girls' recruitment chances and they end up without a bid.


*You hook up with a guy, there's some drama, and he decides to not like you. He then tells everybody you're a skank, then they tell some sorority girls the same thing.

*Girls in ABC (or another sorority) find out you hooked up with these guys, and they decide that you're a skank because of it.

*The guys you hooked up with have hooked with ABCs in the past.

*You hook up with a guy who is in a fraternity, he tells all of his brothers you're a skank, then they tell all their sorority girl friends.

*Worst case: You hook up with a sorority members' bf/or guy that she likes. Big problem because she will tell everybody you're a skank.

As far as drinking with ABCs (or any other sorority members), you might think that drinking and hanging with them will work in your favor. But all it takes is one drunken misunderstanding or drama between them to affect recruitment.

Examples:

*You're drinking with ABCs and you just happen to get too drunk and make a drunken scene of yourself. Even if they're drinking too, they could still be like "OMG did you see vandycandy?"

*You get drunk and kiss/talk to/hook up with a guy an ABC likes. Big problem there.

*They invite other ABCs (who don't know you) out, and you offend them in some way (which is easy to to do when drinking). Or they just decide not to like you (which girls do).

*You get into a drunken misunderstanding with an ABC or any other sorority member, who makes a scene. You might not think it's a big deal, but it could potentially start drama. With girls, something like accidentally spilling your drink on someone is enough to cause drama.

*You get drunk and start being all "OMG I sooo love ABC and I can't wait get in." You might think it's cool and that they love you, but they won't if you start this type of stuff when drinking. They'll just think you're a creepo.

*They stop being friends with you and they tell all of their sisters you're a lush and you're one of those party girls they don't want.

*They tell their friends in other sororities that you're a lush and that you're one of "those girls."

*Girls in OTHER sororities see you out, think you only want to join ABC (or that you're a lush) and write you off completely. This might not seem like big deal to you, but it could become one should ABC not invite you back at some point.


As you can see, the possibilities are ENDLESS. This is why we tell girls to keep a low profile and not go out and drink. Too many things can cause drama and mess things up for them. This is DOUBLE true for schools with January recruitment because alot of judgement is passed on girls based on what happens during first semester.
