Yes and yes again.
I'm so glad that everyone on GC is so encouraging to the PNMs that go through recruitment. Recruitment is an exciting time BUT I think that some GCers become overzealous when it comes to the GC PNMs and, in effect, become almost blinded to what is best for this PNM. Recruitment can be a heartbreaking experience for some and to encourage someone to go through rush, COB, or to tell someone to become an AI can be futile. There are people out there who have rushed several times and they eventually become a member of a sorority but we all know that that is rare. Like amycat said, PNMs who go through recruitment several times are not looked at as prime rushees. In all honesty, while I was a collegiate member (and I know adpiucf can vouch for this), we had many girls who would go through recruitment over and over and over again even after being cut from every sorority during formal recruitment and not getting a bid during COB. Whether it was because of grades or reputation, these girls were obviously doing themselves a disservice by rushing every year. For us to encourage some girls to keep trying over and over and over again at competitive schools or when they're GPAs are low is doing them a disservice.
Be encouraging to these PNMs but know when to back off and realize that not everyone is cut out for a sorority. It's the honest truth. If a sorority were for everyone, then we'd be a club that didn't have any sort of recruitment and we'd let anyone in.
