I think sometimes, in rare cases, knowing people in an organization can hurt you. If they know something compromising, it could be detrimental to you getting a bid. I know this sounds bad and I'm sure this was not the case in that situation, but if one of my sisters mentioned something about her younger sister's (i.e., an extreme drug addiction and refusal to get help), I am not sure I'd want her in my letters. I can't imagine being in thats girls situation and I'm sure it was terrible, I'm just saying....

Oh, c'mon girls! If the sister of an active currently in the chapter goes through rush, she better have three heads and a tail before you cut her! Same goes for the legacy of your HCB president, or the alum that just donated your new piano. !!! eek.

It probably had more to do with the sister in the chapter than the PNM.

It must have, cutting her sister is pretty much guaranteeing that the older sister will quit the chapter, they probably saw it as a convenient way to get rid of her.

But dropping out of a 4 year school to go to community college just because you didn't get the sorority of your choice? ouch... someone doesn't have their priorities straight.

One of our chapter sisters who was not everyone's favorite had her bio sister go through rush (they were 2 years apart). When we were voting on little sis, big sis left the room. One sister said "Little Sis isn't anything like Big Sis. She's a really nice girl." She didn't mean it to come out that way, but everyone cracked up, esp since this wasn't a sister known for her sense of humor. We pledged Little Sis and everything was fine.

The only other bio sister I remember wasn't on good terms with her sister that was in our chapter and really wanted nothing to do with us. We were cool with that (they had some REALLY serious family issues, so whatever they did we just said oooookay) but we did laugh hard when she was complaining about her sisters a year or two later.

joe scott, i certainly can't blame you and your brothers for having issues with your chapter brother who has created problems for your chapter. however, i hope that you all will take the high road for the sake of the younger brother, and not offer him a bid-in fact, just don't invite him back at all(when you start issuing invitations). you will be doing the kindest thing for this young man-giving him a chance to join another fraternity.

Vote on him last?
Make sure the guy's in trouble when it comes to voting so he doesn't get to attend the meeting?
