What happened at Cameron...
I went through recruitment this fall and some kinda crazy stuff happened. For instance at the first party (philanthropy party) quite a few girls were cut right off the bat because frankly they didn't score well by talking about drugs, alcohol, etc. Stuff you don't talk about at recruitment. By the prefrence party a lot more were cut. How it was done at Cameron is that if you were invited back to the pref party you were most likely getting a bid, but if you were on the b-list at the pref party you might not get in. But once your cut, your cut. A-phi does not have to accept you and neither does the other sororities. A-phi cut a lot of girls this year to get the cream of the crop and possibly COB a few others. I think the rule you all are discussing is not right because it is a sorority for Pete's sake. Not everyone is suppose to join. There are certain qualities that we want in a-phi girls and if girls don't meet them then they should look at a sorority that they would feel more at home.
Panellitic (sorry...terrible speller) was not to happy about what happened this year and one of the a-phi panelitic dropped her pin because we cut so many girls this year and we don't have that rule.
People seriously misunderstand sororities when we cut girls. It's not about their looks or weight it just that a-phi looks for certain things just as any other sorority, and we should NOT have to accept them if they don't meet the requirements we set.
Sorry so long and hopefully I understood the jist of the rule.
much love,
Amanda
