No matter the size of the campus or Greek System, competition of some sort exists. Perhaps not as cut throat as larger/elite/Southern or similar systems, but every sorority seeks the most qualified members and every PNM seeks a strong sisterhood. Every recruitment has the potential to see cuts, be it 300 or 10 girls who will end up without a bid.
Sometimes we ALL tend to sugarcoat the system.
GDI is not a dirty word. We never discuss that right up front when a new person starts to post. I understand it could be a spoiler for the enthusiasm, but still, it IS a real possibility.
So many of the characteristics GLOs seek are embedded in those HS years-grades, activities, confidence, polish. Some of these things are impossible to rectify by coming on GC a few months prior to recruitment. (I wish we could reach these young ladies earlier in their HS careers.)
AXWhoah and I look at things in a similar way.
I've got a pretty stinky philosophy when it comes to things like THIS.
Mine is-Expect nothing and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Kind of droll, but it has helped me keep my expectations in check.
