When she was in college it could have been because of her GPA. Automatically at some schools on the first night of FR girls are dropped specifically b/c of GPA. So let's say she had a GPA of 3.4 but the cutoff is 3.5, so automatically she would be dropped.
I say this because it's not for us to hold it (being dropped from houses) against them. We don't know why these houses dropped them. And even if someone on GC happens to know this potentail AI, that person would only know the reason their house dropped them.
I'm sure there is always a part of us that is thinking "they are only interested in us because they couldn't get the other one". But the same thing goes with FR and those girls get the benefit of the doubt.
We need to do the same thing for the PNAM's.

I was writing the same thing...you've said it some much better.
to add: they may be looking for a group to show devotion to and be the best sister they could possibly be, or they could have been dropped by all 25 groups and 1 picked them....It all depends on the culture of the AC and if the GLO on the national level is willing to say, go for it....who are "we" to say..no? She may just become the most dedicated member of that AC.
I understand the point of not wanting "letter-wearers", but I think that is a concern on both the collegiate level and the alumna level.
I am not targeting ANY group by any means....
but just because Alpha Psi Omega has 20 AIs (
on a messageboard) doesn't mean that their standards are lower than Sigma Beta Delta. And if any person, within the org or a PNAM thinks that...they should be doing their own self-evaluation.
I will be honest and say that yes, when looking at websites and reading the missions statements/creeds/purpose. I felt a connection with each and every organization, because of the beauty of the statements. And a glimpse of each organization stood for…. Did that make me want to email ALL 26 GLOs? No. I had a list I believe of 6 GLOs that I was very interested and we know my story from there, why should I rehash it here.
I understand that most of us would like to plan for the worst case scenario and lets face it, it does happen, but not on average.
