(non-Zeta butting in
)
OK, Brandeis said some slightly piggy things, but he was right about one thing: be very selective. Choose girls that are proud to be Zeta, want to be with the other girls, and are willing to work. Yes, it does help to pledge attractive, outgoing girls, but only if they really want to be there. It doesn't matter if she looks like Cindy Crawford and has the checkbook of Bill Gates, if all the sisters hate being around her or if she thinks she's doing the chapter a big favor by joining, cut her loose. But don't just give anyone an invite. WARM BODY BIDS ARE BAD BAD BAD. If a chapter is drowning, taking anything with a pulse is like putting a hose in its mouth. If the rep is bad to begin with that will make it worse.
Be sure everyone looks their best, especially when they are wearing letters. And stay away from people or groups who say negative things about the chapter.
