While I was in line, there was a lady behind me who just answered her phone.
"I didn't get any sleep last night. She only got an invite back to one house that she liked. She was cut by both DG and Chi O".
pause
"She only has one left that she likes"
pause
"I don't think recs make any difference any more"
and then the Barrista called me up
I'm pretty sure which university this is since there is Pref today at one of the larger universities that students commonly attend, and both of those chapters are on that campus. I so much wanted to talk to the mom since I think there is still a misconception that RIFs get you invited back to houses but had to be somewhere quickly.
Just a thought, wouldn't it be nice if each chapter placed a disclaimer on their RIFs that stated that completing this form does not guarantee an invitation to join the chapter or to attend any parties beyond the first? Maybe I'm still living in la la land!
