Pinklady, I'm sorry rush didn't turn out the way you wanted. I hope you find a right place for yourself, in Greek life or out of it.
Pinklady, best wishes to you!

FuzzieAlum, about PNMs not stringing chapters along "if they know THEY don't want them" -- sometimes the rush rules make that difficult. Fairly often PNMs are required to attend up to the maximum number of parties they're invited to for each invitational round.
Let's say as an example there are 2 invitational rounds before pref. After the open round and the first invites, the PNM is certain that Chapter X is not where she'd be comfortable. But when invitations come for the second invitational round, she has been cut from enough chapters that she must go to Chapter X's party, along with parties at some other chapters that invited her back. SHE is not deliberately stringing Chapter X along -- she is following the rules so she can remain in recruitment.
