I can imagine a campus where total is in the 80s or more, and you have all (or most) of your sisters as friends, and only a handful of girls from other sororities on your friends list. I think I only have 3 or 4 of them on my list. Just the onesI am actually friends with - I'm not a friends number booster kinda person. Hah.

If there are only 21 girls in both sororities at your school, I'm assuming it would be pretty easy to figure out who the rho chi/rho gam/gamma chi/whatever the new PC for it term now is for your sorority.

Maybe so. PNMs arent stupid, most of them will probably figure it out on a campus with only 2 sororities. But the point of dissafiliated panhellenic officers is not to recruit for their organization, but rather to encourage girls to come to recruitment period. It's panhellenic's job to get girls in the door. It's the individual's sororities job to convince them to join that sorority.

I know that OUR panhellenic officer has been taught very well how to be unbiased all around, and will continue to work with the greek advisor to get panhellenic more well established the way it is meant to be. We told her that during the disaffiliation time period, that she cant act any more friendly with us than she would with another sorority member. That she wasnt allowed to show favoritism towards us, that if a PNM confides in her that she really likes one sorority over the other thats she's supposed to be excited and encouraging the whole way. She knows she's not allowed to recruit for AZD. She's supposed to recruit for greek life.

What makes you think that the other sorority's panhellenic officer hasn't?

I seem to recall a thread by amanda6035 and the panhel issues at her school

ETA: Unless I'm confusing them with another campus, but the situation was almost identical.

OMFG, are you trying to get into a pissing contest or something? Did I ever say that they hadn't?

No. I didn't.

I don't know what they do. I don't know what their process on how they deal with things is. What I DO know is that because this is a new process, because panhellenic on my campus is still new, that it still has a tendency to be a great big cluster-you-know-what. Don't put words in my mouth, and try to find some underlying meaning behind my post. Believe me, if I wanted to imply something, I wouldn't imply it, I'd flat out say it, thanks. I cant speak for them. I was speaking for us.

You emphasized the word OUR in your original post. When people do that, they're trying to place blame on the other party. (ex. No Mrs. Smith, I didn't put a frog in Mary's lunch box.)

amanda6035 · #7 01-23-2007, 03:53 PM

well, I'm sorry you took the emphasis the wrong way. Emphasis can have many meanings. Again, I don't imply. I say. The emphasis showed that I was talking about us.

I didn't mean to de-rail the topic with my questions. Oops. now back to your regulary scheduled thread

Whoa whoa... I don't know that that was actually a dig. Don't take it so personally.
