Placing Blame

[imsohappythatiama]

Leslie:

I see your point (as it applies to all of the Recruitment Threads, not just TBSG's thread).

Another point, however (which applies to TBSG's thread and ANY Recruitment Period at any chapter) is that when a collegiate is speaking with 2 PNMs at once, she should:
(1) be courteous enough to get both PNMs involved in the conversation, or
(2) (if one PNM just won't shut up) be certain that the PNM who didn't get much of a chance to speak because big-mouth wouldn't give way gets invited back SIMPLY due to the fact that conditions were beyond her control.

And may I just add (yes, this applies directly to TBSG's thread) that I understand AnnieSigKap's point about double-rushing....but THERE SHOULD NEVER BE DOUBLE RUSHING ON PREFERENCE NIGHT. There is simply no excuse for that, especially when other collegiate members can be seen floating in the background.

Leslie, you are right that we should all take these PNMs' Recruitment stories with a grain of salt....but like KillarneyRose said, I recognize poor recruitment skills when I see them. Maybe TBSG got released for some utterly different and legitimate reason...but even still, she should not have been subjected to such poor hostessing. It's just bad manners.

And while I'm on the TBSG subject ditto the comment about TBSG NOT dissing the chapter publicly by keeping it anonymous. THAT is good manners. Nuff said.
