Isn't this the story of Ole Miss recruitment in one sentence

?!
There's a lot of talk about how difficult it is now that recruitment is in the middle of the semester. I agree the timing's awful for academics and it does stress everyone out. PNMs are on tenterhooks, waiting to find their place and compete amongst each other while actives get stuck with weeks of recruitment practice and all sorts of other things......
....but, on a positive note, I do think it helps PNMs make a wider variety of friends at different houses. For one, they're with an unaffiliated group of freshman women for several weeks. Cliques will form, but they'll get spread out over several houses post-recruitment. Those first friendships can be intense, and sometimes do last. Mine did. Compared to my parents' friends, I think I was able to make friendships and have a more "Panhellenic" social life than women in previous generations.
