Question about conflicts with class schedule for recruitment

[KSUViolet06]

No one can say for sure. All the absence form does is let the sorority & your recruitment counselor know that you won't be there. It doesn't neccessarily guarantee that you won't be cut from that sorority. I personally would hope that a sorority wouldn't drop you for missing a party due to classes, but those decisions are up to the individual groups.

One year when I was an advisor a girl wrote a note that was distributed to all the chapters to explain why she couldn't make it to the event. If you're that concerned you could do something similar.

Wow, you go-getters. You went to class?

[FSUZeta]

on some campuses, the sororities are instructed NOT to drop a girl who misses a first party due to a class schedule conflict.later in the week they are not obligated to invite back a missing girl. why don't you check with your campus panhellenic office to see how the sororities handle the situation?

At Ole Miss if you are a Potential New Member and you skip class for parties you are automatically released from recruitment. So I would check with your Panhellenic Office. Before each party a Recruitment Counselor comes and hands out at list with names of PNMs who have class or they are sick, and of course no chapter is going to release you because you were in your Freshmen Biology class.

From Ole Miss Recruitment Rules:

"Potential New Members should attend all academic classes, lab, and study groups. A POTENTIAL NEW MEMBER MAY NOT MISS AN ACADEMIC CLASS OR LAB FOR THE PURPOSE OF ATTENDING A RECRUITMENT-RELATED FUNCTION. IF SHE DOES, SHE WILL BE RELEASED FROM FORMAL RECRUITMENT AND BE INELIGABLE TO SIGN A BID CARD UNTIL THE FOLLOWING SEMESETER. If there is a conflict between Recruitment activities and academic requirements, the Potential New Member should contact the Panhellenic Council so that an excuse may be sent to the sororities."
