All good points, AZTheta! And I've written a couple of 'no-recs' in my time and I don't feel guilty about that.

I made a mistake; someone has contacted me to remind me that the aforementioned alum has visited 2 campuses, not 1, to mess with GCers' rushes. You're right, sorry about that.

That's what you call PSYCHO!

TOTALLY psycho!

I was just thinking back to the old days, when signatures said, "UNABASHED PLUG FOR XYZ" and such. As a noob, it freaked me out! GreekChat has come a long way.

Another thing I remembered was in my own chapter (before Al Gore invented the internet, and before our MS changed): Sisters were to write their thoughts about each & every PNM each & every day, and these notebooks were to be destroyed prior to Bid Day. Somehow, the one when I rushed wasn't, and I got to see exactly which sister thought what about me - thank heavens most were very, very kind! The one that I'll never forget was, "Too big-breasted, & sexy, must be easy." And those of y'all who have read my retro-recruitment know that I was pretty straitlaced at the time, especially during rush! I couldn't help but remember some of the other comments about PNMs who didn't go ADPi, either!

As I said, Membership Selection has changed drastically for ADPi, but Precious PNMs, I have no idea about the others. As exciting as a real-time thread can be, you will probably do so much better if you do as others have said: Write it out as a document, then post it after Bid Day. And if for some reason, you don't get a bid, it's not the end of the world. Feel free to post about that, too, if you find it cathartic.

That's fine if it's respectful. I hate when bitter people didn't get a bid come on and trash chapters. Part of the reason why we as GCers have a bad rep when it comes to being mean to PNMs - you never know when "OMG I LOVE XYZ!" becomes "OMG THOSE *&^@#$&@ (*&@#(@*#&$! I *(&#$*& HATE THOSE (*&$#@(*& AND I HEARD THEY DO DRUGS!!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!1!1!one!!!!!!!!!!"

Most true!

If someone wants to tell about their experience, and why they shouldn't have done a suicide, or cut someone for a superficial reason, or listened too much to tent talk, I'd like to think that there would be those who would pat their virtual shoulder - IF they realized what happened.

And Snap Bids & COR are fun, too.
