University of Georgia NPC Recruitment 2019

Holy COW DistantXOcousin. HOLY COW! is all I got for that.

SO now my brain is working on the "bigger picture" (the problem has been identified and described so now what are the treatments/solutions?), and to me that includes NPC doing a better job of informing pnms and parents. See where I'm going with this?

I still stand by my closing statement, I hope your pnm has a good outcome. Still SMH at the "shock" though. You just need to spend a little time on youtube, looking at videos, and you will have a pretty good picture of what's at stake.

Reminding myself that we're dealing with 18 year olds and there's that to figure into the equation.

I see exactly where you’re going, AZTheta!
It’s changed a lot since I was in school but, at the same time, it hasn’t changed at all. I understand that the NPC is trying to make recruitment more inclusive and available to everyone but I’m of the opinion that they should flat out tell you that you need recs, when the girls who don’t know that much about recruitment turn up without letters and are thrown into the mix with the girls who do, it just makes the divide that much larger.

Yes!

I would go ahead and write that Bama rec. it's late, but someone "might" take a look at it. It's worth a shot.

I got a request from 2 friends at Alabama who have daughters going through and 3! at Oklahoma. I’ll write them but at this point, I think it’s like throwing a cotton ball into a waterfall to try and stop the flow.

And another thing....those videos that PNMs are putting their faith in are made by second-semester freshman or sophomores who either haven't been through recruitment on the sorority side, or have only been through once. They don't even know their own sorority's policies and procedures, never mind al the behind-closed-doors matching, research, etc. that goes into the mix.
