We just both kept saying that we "trusted the process" - which btw, I still do, I'm just not sure if either of these two houses are the right ones for her and if the process is telling her that she would be better off not pledging.
Very, very rarely would a pnm be better off not pledging. Having been through dozens of recruitments I can authoritatively say the process is telling her "THESE TWO HOUSES REALLY WANT YOU. Open your heart and mind and see if you can't see yourself as a sister to these women who obviously see something in you that those who cut you did not."
