"The Dreaded Phone Call"

[WregleXO]

My sister is the chapter advisor at Auburn and she told me that all XO alumni that have a child going through rush at are sent a communication before rush asking them how they wanted to be contacted if their legacy was cut - either phone call or email (I think that she preferred the email method so she didn't have to talk to angry moms).

Please let's be cautious about posting private membership selection information. Statements might not be 100% accurate for the current time and also, it's private information.

Thanks.

I think this is a hard situation. I understand the pain of Mom's not being notified in a manner they expect, yet at the sametime as a International Recruitment Volunteer am frustrated that our EO burns more time on dealing with released legacies for weeks, months, and oh yes years after recruitment instead of focusing on best servicing the needs of the chapters.

Many NPC groups are changing thier policies in light of release figures, more legacies than Q and modified forms of recruitment (what if your first invite party is pref - some require a legacy be invited to the first invitational round- quite a problem there). Expect more changes and more unahppy alums unfortunately.

Well, we've done this to ourselves and it stinks. When we all as NPC sisters realize and start singing "we're all in this together, once we know that we are ...we can all believe we are stars!" then we'll stop cannibalizing support for our individual groups from all those alums who have loved and supported their sisterhoods for years...only to be left with a nasty taste in their mouth after their daughters go through recruitment.

I've said it here before and I'll say it forever. Every PNM with an NPC connection should be considered an NPC legacy and thumbs up to her...but let each PNM and each chapter stand on her own merit and be free to make their own choices and be supported by all.
