Yet another retro recruitment!

Great story!

I'm curious to know what the other chapters are

I really enjoyed reading this one. The story of your chapter's turnaround sounds almost identical to mine (even though I joined through COB). When we had a "not so good" recruitment, alot of PNMs snubbed us in favor of the "most popular" groups.

It's so interesting because the next year, we did really well at recruitment. By that time, some of those same PNMs who snubbed us had deactivated from their chapters because they weren't happy. Some of those girls actually came up to my sisters saying that they wished they would've gone Sigma last year instead of automatically ruling us out.

PNMs take note: Don't rule out a sorority based on reputation because it can change.

That was a really great story, thank you!

I hope girls planning on rushing this fall read this because it is truly inspirational reading how you struggled with your decision, but ultimately realized that your initial gut reaction to where you fit was the right one. A house's "reputation", either good or bad, should not be a reason to decide to pledge.

Great thread! I had a feeling that was where you were going to end up, and I just knew you'd end up happy. I'm so happy that I was right!

I'd love to know what the other chapters are, but if you don't want to revel them you don't have to.

I'm so glad you had a happy ending, but then again, I'm clearly biased. Sorry to hear about your car and ipod but very thankful they didn't hurt you or your car!

I vote that this be a "sticky" thread at the top of the board.

PNMs, please keep an open mind and heart.

I too really like this thread and definitely opened my mind. As much as everyone preaches (lol) around here to give everyone a fair chance I know from experience that it is hard. I second the sticky motion.
