Dealing with mean PNM's

[33girl]

If girls are behaving inappropriately during recruitment, tell the rho chis or the Greek Life advisor so they can be removed from the process. Why do girls even have phones on them during rush anyway? While you're dealing with them at the moment, the best strategy is just to be as nice as can be and ignore their meanness.

Are the girls in the chapter now (some of whom I'm guessing are people you weren't allowed to cut) proud and happy to be there, or are they just there because it's better than not being Greek at all?

When your chapter grows you are going to have lots more different girls who like lots more different PNMs. Be sure that you're letting yourselves grow and be happy with the new 'you."

If girls are crying at pref, try to take them aside and calm them down. The last thing you want is for them to be a buzzkill to the girls who really DO want to be there. Pair them with a sister who maybe also put you guys as last choice on her pref card and loves it now. Don't put them near gung ho sister who has loved your chapter from the first second because they don't need that kind of pressure.
