A junior transfer recruitment story!!!

[violetpretty]

Some campus Panhellenics require PNMs to attend every party on their schedules or the PNM is dropped from recruitment (unless the PNM's absence is excused). Some campus Panhellenics will guarantee a PNM a bid (to a chapter where she attended preference) if she ranks all chapters whose preference parties she attended, provided that the PNM also attended every party on her schedule in previous rounds or had an excused absence if need be.

I agree with AOII Angel that it's a good idea to "maximize your options" by attending every party on your schedule and by keeping an open mind, looking for the best in all chapters, etc. However, it is also important to be honest with yourself and evaluate where you truly think you fit. Tippie, I agree with you that it is horrible advice to tell a PNM to rank all three chapters after pref if she would only be happy in one or two. I think PNM08 was just shocked that richi decided to skip a chapter because her school might have harsher consequences for skipping a party.
