Where are all the Potential PNMs?

[AnchorAlumna]

Does it seem that we have fewer PNMs (AKA rushees) on here than usual?

I miss 'em....and their "stupid" questions.

I'm not surprised that people are afraid to post here.....

Maybe they are reading the Sticky treads! That would be awesome.

[AnchorAlumna]

OK, I checked the stats and right now, there are 23 members and 123 guests perusing the boards.

I'm guessing some of our replies have frightened away PNMs.

BUT....if they're reading old threads before they ask questions...that's a GOOD thing!

Just so you know, not everyone here is a snarky bitch. Some of us just don't appreciate the craptastic attitude some people have, so we have stopped posting when it comes to giving advice. Some of us are also tired of parents who live a greek experience vicariously through their children and want to know why their dearest darlings were cut because they are so fabulous and wonderful.

YES.

We get a little annoyed with answering the SAME questions over and over.

We also get a little sick of getting snark from PNMs when they ask ridiculous questions and don't want honest answers.

We're also totally OVER retro threads from random people who don't even post here and really just came here to get attention.

You get the idea. It gets a little annoying.

The Stickys about recruitment are very helpful. Just sayin'.

[Carpe Aeternum]

Checking in as a PNM who spends the time I am visiting GC to read through any and all thorough old recruitment threads. Thanks for the time you have all dedicated to leaving useful information for PNMs to use- it is very appreciated.

Perhaps, but there's no rule that says you have to respond to a post.

No need to QFP me. I'm not going to delete my original post in hopes of gaining anyone's approval. There is one point on which I agree with Tippiechick wholeheartedly- you can disagree with me, and that's ok. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Yes- you are correct. Some awfully sad questions get posted here. I am certain that even the most tolerant GC'ers find their patience tested at times. After all, "I am going to XYZ University and I want to rush. Can you tell me who the awkward, ugly sorority is because I am so awesome I want to avoid the losers...." should not be posted by anyone with a shred of common sense.

Last point- you don't need to tell me that not everyone on here is a snarky bitch. Actually, there are many posters on here who are a credit to their organization. Others, however, make me wonder if they are just as miserable in real life.

YOU are CORRECT!
I'm sorry. It won't let me correct the title.

[srmom]

I'm betting they are lurking. Or, maybe they are out at the lake or beach enjoying their last summer before college!!

Oh, to be young again! And, not sitting behind a computer at work!!

Just found out we are working tomorrow - WTH??

[littleowl33]

The majority of the PNM posts I've seen have just been in reference to the chapter reputations at their soon-to-be college. I bet more serious questions will be coming later. I agree with srmom - they just got of high school a few months ago and they're probably still out celebrating!
