1) kaeb's join date is July 2010. Not sure that qualifies as a long-time poster. I don't consider myself a long-time poster.

2) kaeb has admittedly never participated in formal recruitment and is not familiar with the MOI, RFM, etc.

3) MY OPINION: Repeating hearsay and gossip is NOT Panhellenic in spirit, and is harmful to all parties involved. I will not stand for that and will speak up and call it out when I see it. For starters, you can't ever unring that bell; and there are going to be people who'll say "I heard that" or "I happen to know that" and perpetuate rumors as fact. This is not good for individual chapters, or for the system as a whole. It is hurtful and can cause a chapter to wither and die. I've seen it happen more than once. We should NOT be attacking other chapters or speculating on any situation without knowing specifics. How is this helpful?

4) Panhellenic officers and RCs should not be discussing confidential matters with non-Panhellenic officers and anyone else. This troubles me. We need to have confidence in those who've been elected to serve all chapters.

5) I have sent an email to inquire about QAs being restricted as a "punishment" and if I get an answer I will share it. I'm not even going to venture a guess on this.

5) Bottom line up front: this is all ridiculous. We all need to step back (me included) or this thread will be locked. I personally am quite thrilled with the health of the USC greek system and offer congratulations to all the chapters. I can't wait to see the Presents photos this year!

aside: ellebud, check your email in a couple of hours, please. long overdue news coming your way...

kaeb has participated in formal recruitment at USC. She wrote her recruitment story...

I took her comment about not knowing anything about RFM, Quota, etc to mean she wasn't Greek. Sorry I misunderstood. As for what the MOI says, I'm out of the copy and paste business. All npc members can get a copy thru their web site or NPC delegate.

With all due respect to the interesting information shared here regarding NPC rules and procedures, I think that in RL the vast majority of Greeks -- including loyal, involved alums and current actives -- are not experts on RFM, QA, and the MOI.

And yet they are still Greek.

And thanks to AZTheta for such a logical post. And to KAEB, I did go off the deep end but we do not talk about individual NPCgroups here in a negative light. That's considered bad form. And when it's mine, I get particularly testy.

Wait, when did I do this?

kaeb has been a great poster! She does not deserve to be snarked at! As a West Coast resident with strong panhellenic roots in Los Angeles, I have enjoyed and appreciated her current college experience contributions here on GC. So much of what is posted on GC comes from a southern perspective, which is very interesting and enjoyable to read. But we need to appreciate our west coast posters too!

Then delta gamma made quota. Congrats to Alpha Nu chapter and all the NPC groups.

Two questions:

1: Were first round cuts predetermined?

2: How much information do the PNMs know about the sororities after the first party? I know some schools list the chapter GPA on their website. It seems that the most recent information from USC schools is from 2010. Do the PNMs know if the sorority is or has been the recipient of any university discipline within the last three years?

Membership selection is private.

1. None of your business or anyone else's outside of the individual chapters, for that matter.

2. How in the world would we know what PNMs know at any point in recruitment?

Why am I flashing on MacBeth...the three witches? (double bubble toil and trouble?

[KitKat58]

Thank you DBB, but I think Alabama was transparent on my first question.

As for my second question, why should I provide my daughter with $5000 dues if the chapter will be revoked before her graduation? I know some schools where the GPA range is less than 0.25, but if a chapter is significantly higher or lower than the average is that a secret?

Lastly, if a chapter is predominantly Christian I would think science majors would like this information.
