There is a new greek advisor at my school this year, thank goodness. Our old one was HORRIBLE. She always managed to not be there during formal recruitment (hello, that's one of your only f***ing jobs!) because she had "family events" to attend. I can see this happening occasionally, but it happened just about every year! There was also an incident where my chapter gave a girl a bid through formal recruitment, and the girl turned down the bid, thus making her inelligible to pledge another sorority for a full year (she had signed her preference card, and it is clearly stated on there that if you sign it, you will accept any bid that you recieve). Well, as it turned out, one of the largest sororities on campus, XYZ, was eligbile for COBing a couple of girls that year, and since they were "unfamiliar with the COB process," they gave this girl a COB. They claimed that the COB section was missing from their copy of the NPC manual, and they thought it would be ok. So, rather than punishing XYZ for breaking the rules by revoking this girl's bid, the greek advisor said that she would let it go because she said it would punish the girl more than it would punish XYZ (which I can see, but the rules are clearly explained on preference night, so if she wasn't going to accept a bid from her second choice anyway, she should have suicided.) This greek advisor was also known for letting the larger houses take "quota plus plus plus" because she didn't want any of the pmn's to be unhappy if they didn't get their first choice, but she didn't realize that she was basically killing the smaller houses by doing that. She also basically let all of the larger houses commit rush infractions because she never punished any of them. Sorry this is so long, but her stupidity still makes me so angry!
But, I've heard that the new greek advisor is very nice and he wants to help get greek life back on track. I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
