This is so true... pnms tend to think that when they get cut, the entire chapter is looking at pictures of them, enumerating their shortcomings even laughing at them or scorning them, when in reality, many of the members are not even fully aware of everyone who is cut. I can well believe that women in a large school who befriend a new potential member are surprised and perhaps even befuddled to find that she was cut by their own chapter during formal rush.

AuburnMom08, I love your daughter's story, and so glad you are here this year to show the craziness of the first year on the other side of rush. It is really NO easier to be on the other side, and in fact, just as difficult.

I hope that pref rounds go well and that we hear of some happy endings.

True...i think at schools with over a thousand girls going through recruitment, there is no possible way to remember every single girl your chapter cut! In my chapter, though, I remembered EVERY single girl who we cut, every girl who cut us and where every girl pledged. Only about 200 people went through rush each year so it wasn't so difficult. I wouldn't laugh at anyone, but I would admit to laughing at some of their pictures after staring at them for hours on end during bid sessions

i didn't mean to infer that someone who knew someone might not be invited to a cob event. i should have stated that as an additional option. thanks auburnmom08, for pointing that option out.

CONGRATS TO THETA!

I am a Theta volunteer and as many of you may know, this was our first formal recruitment since colonization. I am proud to say that we will be welcoming 68 new members to our chapter this morning - Quota + 15!!!! I was with the chapter for their Pre-Recruitment workshop and IWTs and I was so impressed with how hard they were working! I could not be prouder of them all right now.

YAY!!!!

(Sorry - I'm more than a little excited!)
