The bottom line is-these young ladies are a GUEST in you HOME and should be treated as such. After all-YOU INVITED THEM!

TBSG-No one can know how YOU felt, so I will not even try to guess or comment on your particular experience. However, I think your rotation suggestion is worthy of a closer look.

Some points made in various posts-
Some girls ARE poor "rushers". Some rushers ARE horrid. I would bet in every chapter there is at least ONE that could eat those PNMs alive! God pity the PNM who gets stuck with her because NO girl could live up to her standards and she is sure to blast her during discussion. THAT's why rotation is so important.

Inexperience-Can't get around this one. This is equally difficult for the PNM because there's no way to be on if you're talking to a piece of wood.

It appears obvious from enna's,UGa, now TBSG's thread SOMETHING needs to improve! Whatever you can do inhouse should be a priority because getting anything changed on a bigger level may NEVER happen.

GC is as great a place as any for a girl to come seeking advice and support. I honestly feel in our efforts to present the positive, we gloss over the negative. Part of the problem is-by the time they find GC, it's too late to make any meaningful changes. Grades, activities and personalities (Bubble quality) are set in stone. I think WE should be careful too. When a PNM posts, "I don't know, the active and I just didn't click." I want to tell her-GET READY TO BE CUT. (That was the ONE thing my daughter always mentioned when she said she thought she would get cut.) If I said somethig like that,I'd be blasted!
We must openly admit to these young girls
that there IS an ugly/dirty side to rush, great girls get cut, YOU COULD TOO!
