Right, I was merely suggesting that she go through to meet people, understanding that the chances of her getting a bid are microscopic.

First off, I apologize for the multiple posts. I'd really like for someone to explain how you all do multi-quote replies so I can do it differently. How do you do that? Does it require cutting and pasting from multiple windows?

JessSigKap, reasonable people can disagree about this, and I've given the "take a chance, what could it hurt" position with many girls who were choosing between a less that perfect recruitment experience and not going through at all. So I'm not busting on your comment here, but. . .

I found SEC rush to be a pretty punishing experience, and my rush wasn't even that bad considering what I know now about going through before my third year with mediocre grades only knowing girls in four groups before rush (but it was a long time ago).

The stamina needed for the mentally draining task of enthusiastically and seemingly authentically having virtually identical small talk conversations from sun up to sun down, coupled, let's be honest for most people, with invite lists reflecting open rejection from at least some groups does not equal an experience I'd recommend to anyone who didn't have a reasonable expectation of joining a group who had any other hope of getting a bid later.

Even if you go in with an "I'll see what a happens; I'm just here to make friends" attitude, the experience itself makes you crazy. To do it knowing that the results are going to likely stink is something I would only recommend to someone that I either disliked or thought was already insane.

But others might disagree.

One more thing is that I suspect that going through formal more than one time in itself may cause red flags to go up at some groups.

See the little button that has the quotes (") and plus (+) sign next to the quote button? Click on that for every post you want to quote. Then click the "Post Reply" button. All the posts you want to quote will then be in the reply box.

Thank you so much. I never even noticed it was there.
