Wow, at our school, you didn't find out who your Recruitment Counselor was until the night of Greek Forum!
Just chiming in my two cents: talk to your professor BEFORE classes begin AND talk to your Recruitment Counselor as soon as you meet her. Bring your class schedule so you have a concrete excuse and (nicely) stay on top of your Recruitment Counselor to file your excuse with Panhellenic and get confirmation from her that you are cleared to be late to prefs. As tempting as it is to put sorority at the top of your list of priorities b/c you want to make a good impression and show them you are interested, SCHOOL COMES FIRST!!!! (Learn this now and you will be way on top of things and a great role model for your new member class!)
When I was a Recruitment Counselor, I ran into two instances: one of my PNM's slept in and completely missed her first party. There was nothing we could do b/c it was unexcused and she got cut from that first house for being a no-show. My second PNM had orientation the same afternoon as Round 2 and had to miss parties that day. She had a valid excuse turned in to me at Greek Forum and she was cleared and good to go. She wasn't penalized and joined her favorite sorority!
Good luck Crystal, and all of our other PNM's!
