Even if you were CloseMinded, no one expects you to admit to it. That would miss the point behind a sockpuppet.

I'm only half serious anyway, but your post rang a bell in my head.

It reminds me of the self-righteous PuppyLuv (a/k/a GatorKate) post from a couple of years ago:

You guys are missing the point completely! What she has so kindly pointed out is that if you are at (what's the awesome runonsentenceofeverybigschool) Big Super Competitive Rush school and you have to cut 500 girls before midnight tonight, you really need to spend an extra 20 minutes looking over the girl who 1-isn't going to provide the cashflow the girl a year younger than her will 2-for whatever reason didn't have a great rush last year and 3-was maybe offered another chapter and declined it because she's too good for them or did accept the bid and couldn't make the best of it. That you have to deny an invitation to a freshman with excellent grades, great conversation skills and recs from the meany alumnae, and maybe incur a very large fine for being late submitting your lists is beside the point.

Or stating it another way, she's being pompous and know-it-ally and we're supposed to be grateful for that.

And if I were to make a guess, I bet she got into a sorority by way of a colony that needed a few juniors/seniors to balance their roster, and either went through one rush and as the new kids on the block weren't quite as selective (judgy, mean) as the other chapters, or didn't participate in a full formal competitive rush at all. And it's SUPER easy to tell that 250 member Chi O chapter at Arkansas about how they should be more inclusive and open minded.

OP: the problem with raising campus total on competitive campuses is that it can hurt the smaller and/or newer groups.

Besides this, TECHNICALLY, in all but a few campi every recruitment (even the monsterously huge ones) has a spot for every PNM. Raising Total doesn't affect Quota. Whether every PNM has grades, recs, an open mind and enough social grace not to be cut by every house is another story.

What I got from the ramblings was:
Everyone should get a spot in a sorority regardless of their grades, class standing, personality, etc. (and that everyone should poop rainbows and own magical ponies).

Yes! Legit reason to post this again!

I would like my own magical pony. I think it would make my daily commute more enjoyable.

My guess was a chapter that had a OHHOLYSHITHALFOURPLEDGECLASSJUSTQUITANDNATIONALSIS GOINGTOHAVEABIRDWENEEDWARMBODIESNOW moment but the part about meeting with "advisors" does kind of tip to a colony. I don't know ANYONE (IRL or on here) who met with an advisor to get a bid in a normal rush situation.

Oh no! How dare this thread not be totally serious. What to do?! What to do?!

[aephi alum]

OK, who came over from HPRL to post this nonsense?

[melindawarren]
