A Word of Caution to PNMs

[Chicago88]

True. Ive also noticed that some threads pop up if a certain word is in the thread on page 6 of 22. I tend to skip those. Whoops?

You should be able to search on thread title only.

Really, it's okay to ask questions. We all know that the GL website isn't always totally truthful when it comes to things like recs and outfits. I think the examples given above were good ones, and in my mind, it boils down to the difference between "I have questions about rush at XXX University" and "I have questions about MY rush at XXX University".

Avoid asking any question starting with "what are my chances of getting a bid at _______?" and continuing with a list of your stats (GPA, how "cute" you are, how many friends you have in chapters, whether you're a legacy).

We do not know.

No matter how many "stats" you provide us, we still don't know.

Granted, there are SOME situations that are pretty black and white and we MAY be able to tell you (with some degree of certainty) that you really don't have much of a chance.

Example: "I'm going to SEC U, I'm a junior transfer, and I have a (insert min. GPA standard for recruitment here). I also have a 3 year old kid and work 3 jobs. What are my chances of getting a bid?"

But barring a few extreme situations like those, we don't know. So don't ask us what your chances are.
