my recruitment experience so far

[KSUViolet06]

Best of luck to you! Some advice though:

* Keep an open mind because you never know who may or may not invite you back next round.

* About the whole "the president told my cousin she loved me" thing. She very well might have said that- but membership decisions are based on the entire sorority. I just would advise you not to take that compliment to mean "oh my gosh I am SO in" because with anything in recruitment, you never know what could happen and should you not be invited back to them, that makes for some hurt feelings.

* I also would try not to let campus reputation and stuff like "OMG I heard this sorority is like this or like that" influence your opinions. You are rushing to join the best sorority for YOU. Not the one that is most popular or something like that. I've seen girls get into the sorority that is "most popular"and then dropout later because they were totally unhappy.

Just some stuff to think about! I hope things turn out well for you.

Very true, and teh fact that she is the president does not mean that she has more influence in membership selection.

The president may have LESS influence as she may not even cast a vote.

Since this is deferred recruitment, I can see how you would have opiniosn already about some but I do caution you to keep an open mind. If you are keeping one, it isn't showing through in your thoughts you have submitted here.

Since you have some strong negative comments, I would not reveal the groups names later. Should you become a new member of any fo the groups, your comments here can come back to haunt you later.

teal - LOVED! def my top choice
blue - really liked it this time. the girl i talked to first round wasn't a good representation of the sorority .. talked to a girl in my major and met a bunch of girls
orange - nice girls but couldnt see myself fitting in there
red - loved them today. they are not fake at all it was just a rumor. really liked all the girls that i talked to. have some friends in here. second choice def.
white - gave them a second chance but still couldnt see myself fitting in here.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't think the comments are overly rude. I personally don't feel PNM's should "cough up" to what the houses are at the end. (Mainly because the PNM's are sharing their story with their opinions. We might not always agree but we aren't her and we don't know what she is seeing. Or even how she is feeling. Unfortunately in today's society people tend to take things much more personally, so that's why I don't care if they "list" what house represents whichever code name). Just my opinion.

The good thing is that she is (from the sounds of it) keeping an open mind. It sounds, to me, that she is aware of the rumors and isn't letting them effect her decision.
