God help these young women when they go to get a job - when you will have only your resume and far less than 4 hours of person to person contact to impress your possible employer, who will apparently make a "snap" judgment. I'm not sure where their mothers will go to vent about their amazing daughters who are devastated - BuisnessChat?
eta - And am I the only one to catch the irony of DGTess complaining about GLOs making snap judgments when her daughter decided sorority membership was not for her based solely on the recruitment booklet?
I cannot speak to what other chapters do, but I am fairly confident that they, as did the chapter I advised, do far more than just get together and pass "snap judgments". The chapter I advised had a Fortune 500 company trainer use a variation of the Meyers/Briggs personality scale to learn how to evaluate those going through recruitment, and also how to meet the needs of that personality type when discussing the chapter. Massive amounts of time, effort and energy are put into helping chapters make educated, substative choices. That's as far into membership selection as I am willing to go.
