Retro Recruitment.....with a different ending

The process PeppyGPhiB describes is called Accept/Regret - where chapters issue invitations and PNMs pick the ones they want to attend up to the max allowed for that round. The other option is called Priority Ranking where chapters submit lists privately, PNMs rank privately, and the computer matches them up. The reasons some Panhellenics choose Priority over A/R are many, including:

a - less time required. Meaning you don't have to schedule a separate time for PNMs to look at invites one at a time and select.

b - less opportunity for "tent talk" where PNMs can be influenced by others on what invites to select. Tent talk isn't just limited to the time between seeing the invites and accepting them. It could happen overnight. When girls rank right after the parties, they are more likely to choose what THEY want rather than listen to what other PNMs think they should do.

c - less "public" embarrassment for the PNM. If someone she privately ranked high cuts her, she doesn't have to admit it if she gets a list that is already matched for her and they aren't there. It won't be as public to see all the girls who get 12 invites to the 7 party round when she only has 4. With Priority, the girls who technically got invited to all 12 will only have 7 on their list, which is only 3 more than the girls who got cut by all but 4.

There are other pros and cons for both A/R and for Priority. If using the new RFM, it is easier to adjust the numbers for chapters who are having an unusually bad or unusually good year if they are using Priority. It's just up to the Panhellenic system and what they think works best! Neither way is wrong - just different for different reasons.

I would have to disagree that women dropped by all groups are all socially tone deaf. There are probably some of them out there....but, I think it is unfair to lump those of us that were dropped by all orgs into an umbrella judgement.

If you read my post, you will see that I did everything I could to present the best side of myself to orgs and show my dedication to greek life.

I'm sorry, AlwaysSAI, I wasn't talking about you! I was speculating about what would happen if the type of girls that were discussed in the "Psycho/Stalker PNM" thread rushed at Tufts, where they have to be accepted somewhere. Someone here told a story about a girl who was cut early on but showed up at bid day at the house and cried, hung out outside the house during meetings, etc. That clearly isn't you. But I wonder what in the world they do with "that" girl at Tufts, because you know that there's one of her (or more) at every campus. Nothing can really get the message across to people who lack the skills to hear it.
