Additionally, today a girl we loved accepted a bid from us. She left the room but came back 15 minutes later with a Minerva sister who was crying and obviously upset (keep in mind we are in Strict Silence at this point). The Minerva proceeded to scream at the Greek Life director and tell him something went wrong and the PNM should have gone to Minerva, which wasn't true... and because of it, the girl changed her mind and declined her bid from Venus. Basically, Minerva stole one of our PNMs completely illegally even though they can't even give her a bid for a whole year. Obviously it's a huge infraction and they will be punished, but it cost us a New Member and it really, really makes me mad.
Coming Up: Part II - COB!

I like, hate Minerva right now. What a bunch of little brats. It sucks when things like that come up after the fact because what can you do about it now? But on the bright side, girls who could choose Minerva over Venus due to decorations probably aren't the highest quality you're looking for anyway.
Also, this is TERRIBLE and SO unprofessional of this Minerva girl to freak out like that. As far as I know, when it comes to pref, nobody really has any idea who is going to be on their bid list (save for legacies). I know that I personally have voted against girls that a lot of my sisters thought everyone wanted, and that very well could have happened with this girl. What happens in a year, when she still doesn't get a bid from Minerva? Ugh. What a disastrous situation.
I am SO thrilled for you that you got so many great girls by the way, and I wish you great luck with COB. My fingers are crossed for a full quota for Venus!
