To me it's one of those "lipstick on a pig" things, if they don't want to be there, they don't want to be there and that will be apparent to everyone, as it was.

If you're just giving people punch and cookies you don't have to keep answering the same questions and repeating the same facts/info about your sorority over and over. That would go a long way towards making them less annoyed, IMO.

Plus, if everyone who did this was in Panhellenic...that's part of being in Panhellenic, there's extra stuff like this you have to do. And (theoretically) you're seeing a bigger picture than just the garden variety chapter member.

If each house can't find 10 members who can take one for the team - and by team I mean the Greek System - for a single evening, then there's a problem.

Whether they're manning a table or passing out cookies, one of the most valuable life lessons is that sometimes, you may have to not only work toward a goal that doesn't directly benefit you, but you may have to do it graciously.

Hope that the houses and PNMs make some good matches.

I was just wondering if there was any method on how they contact the pnms after spring rush because they released the contact information for the pnms at 12pm today and my friend who also rushed with me was contacted literally at noon and I still haven't heard back.

~Should I acknowledge the fact that I won't be receiving a call from the sorority I wanted, or is there still some chance I'll receive a bid?

Some women will be contacted immediately, some later. Each chapter does it very differently, so I can't say. If the house you wanted was one of the ones extending bids, don't give up any hope. If a different one does happen to call you first, you should give them a chance. Remember that bidding is open until a week from when it opened.

okk thank you. I'm just a little worried :/ because there was one sorority that I was hoping would extend a bid to me, but my friend got the call from them, and still for me nothing.

Bingo!^^

It's called growing up and realizing life isn't just about you and what you want. Isn't part of being in a sorority "doing good" for others? If young ladies can't do something like this without having issues I am really afraid to see how they will handle "life" as time rolls on.
