Go Vols!

How do I sign up for COB? and What may be some of the reasons I was released??

Go to the Greek life office and ask about COB.

Unless we were there with the chapters, WE DON'T KNOW WHY YOU WERE RELEASED. WE DON'T KNOW YOU OR THE WOMEN IN THE CHAPTERS.

I don't mean to shout, but people always ask us this and the fact is to even give a "maybe it's because of XYZ" might be 1) so far off the actual reason as to be ridiculous 2) the PNM might misinterpret it as "this IS why I was released" and go overboard trying to change that thing, when it had nothing to do with anything to begin with.

Im not asking for a specific example because I wasnt just dropped from one chapter but 6, after skit round and dont understand how that happens after having full parties.

We don't either.

Chapters have to release a certain percentage of women after every party - this is based on figures from past years as to how many women wanted to return there, where they were ranked etc. Sororities used to be allowed to invite back WAY more women than they could ever pledge, with the result being LOTS of women going all the way through pref and not getting a bid.

It may not be a question of they wanted to get rid of you, rather that they wanted to keep someone else.

Well I was at one chapter and every round, I was approaced by the president, vp., vp of recruitment, etc... and on skit round they kept saying how they want me to feel comfortable there and asking me if i did and saying how everyone loves me and that they could see me in there chapter. Which is why I was so taken back when I was told that.

I hate to be cynical, but they probably told lots of people that.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I can imagine it was a shock to be completely dropped.

Can you define good high school GPA more specifically?
