My Fall 09 Recruitment Story

Also, it's usually not that you are cut (except for grades) - it's usually that you were further down the list than the ones who were "invited" back.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, and I hope you get a chance to COB if that's what you are looking for.

The dance party thing just seems rude. It seems like the equivalent of the fraternity rush party stories I've heard when during formal rush at houses that only give summer bids, they just kind of ignore the visiting rushees.

It seems like people would want to do a better job with hospitality. Even if you aren't going to invite a lot of people back, you can still make them feel welcome and as if you are interested in them as human beings, despite not asking them to actually join your organization.

I'm surprised that's an acceptable solution from a HQ and PR perspective, even if the 12-22 year olds think it's swell.

Am I the only person who is a bit bugged that she accuses every chapter on campus of "dirty rushing" and "already having their pledge classes picked?"

I dunno, I understand that you're hurt, but with that many PNMs and chapters, I HIGHLY doubt that EVERY SINGLE ONE of them is playing dirty and has EVERY SINGLE GIRL lined up before recruitment.

I'm just one of those weird people who thinks it's not nice to accuse chapters of playing dirty.

With that said, I do hope that everything works out for you and you enjoy college.
