I do not know how many recruitments on how many different campuses you have attended but in my experience this happens on a regular basis, typically to the bottom rushing chapter (but that is not the only reason! It also happens when recruitment falls at a strange time members have classes, it's the Jewish high holy days in Sept, seniors decide they don't really have to come back for recruitment...)

It isn't the ideal but please don't make a blanket statement that the chapter is in the wrong. We all do not know the real reason why she was double-rushed or why anyone else is for that matter. Making an assumption that the other people she saw were sisters and did not have anyone else to rush is just that an assumption. They could have been alums, they could have been from another chapter being room fillers for a small chapter, or a million other reasons.

I thinks Leslie's whole point was, in my opinion, about assumptions and working off half the information.
