From what I understand, Panhellenic did not do a good job informing girls about what it means to sign a bid card, and many girls (not just SC2013) walked away misinformed and disappointed. This hurts all the chapters that do COB. I'm not saying she should have not signed a bid card, but I know girls we can't recruit because Panhellenic told them, oh, just sign your bid card and see if you like it on bid night, girls who would have liked to go through informal recruitment with us.
I understand that people are jumping on her for what you pointed out as well, but as someone who's been jumped on for not clicking with that chapter, I know that it sucks being attacked by a lot of anonymous strangers for something you can't control. I wanted to fall in love with that house, and I'm sure she did too, but sometimes it just doesn't work out like that. There have been girls who I have wanted to fall in love with our house who end up joining their house, and I understand that that happens and it's not anyone's fault.
As a whole, this forum can be intimidating to me, I'm not going to lie. I don't know if SC2013 feels the same way, but this place is kind of overwhelming at times, especially when a bunch of people I don't know are convinced that I'm wrong even when I think I'm doing the right thing for me.
Sorry if you hate my post as well, I'm in a weird state of mind right now and am not presenting my thoughts as well as I could.
