Just want to horn in for a second....as everybody can see by my signature, I am in two fraternities that don't have a rush/selection procedure like NPC (and NPC-like) sororities. So, ever since I joined GC, I've used it to kinda learn what it's all about.
I also went to a school that didn't have the system.
I can totally understand why a woman would be very upset to not get her first choice. Totally. Go ahead, go banoodles if you want to.
But I don't know....I feel like it's in bad form to cry in front of the women who CHOSE you to join their sisterhood...the women who decided, hey you, we think you have what it takes to be one of us.
Now, disappointment I can understand....and being a bit salty on bid day, i can understand. i am the type of person who gets quiet when disappointed about something, and it makes it seem like i have an attitude...give me a few hours and i'll be fine.
BUT.....I don't know....I don't think that if the PNM has a crappy attitude that the sorority should be responsible for making them feel at home.
And maybe this is the NPHC side of me speaking, but if someone came to either of my fraternities looking unhappy to be there...THEY CAN LEAVE! And I am not going out of my way to make them feel at home.
I hope I haven't misinterpreted the whole system...thanks for letting me share.
