Re: Ending up where you're "meant" to - a new chapter
I agree, responnsible recruitment counselors are needed! Trouble is, my experience has been that the women selected to do it are the ones that the chapter doesn't want on the rush floor because they aren't good at it! So if she screws up things at least it effects all groups and not just ours!! Maybe they need to keep their mouths shut!!
I was absolutely ignorant when I went thru....I didn't have family that were Greek and had no clue what would happen. My counselor didn't pay much attention to me even when I was cut heavily the first day. Since I didn't know better and no one was telling me anything, I didn't care because I was invited back to all but one that I wanted invites from. Ignorace WAS bliss!
I agree that there needs to be training for the counselors. There needs to be set guidelines on what can and can't be said so that there aren't unrealistic expectations from PNM. And....I'll probbly get heat from this.....I think every women should be told that not everyone is meant to belong to a GLO!
Because.....I do believe that you'll end up where you're meant to! No, not necessarily during recruitment! But after the dust clears and you do or don't end up in a GLO or drop out of one after you've joined----that's where you should end up!!
I think I was truly lucky not to have any preconceived ideas or a chatty recruitmet counselor! Because I got my first choice and ended up exactly where I belonged!
