2007 UGA Recruitment

[gabbygamma]

At the University of Georgia, is a PMN notified early if she does not receive a bid or does she just show up in a white dress at 5 o clock and get the disappointing news in front of the entire group?

I found this online http://www.uga.edu/panhellenic/Libra...ter%202007.pdf

It seems as if the girls get their bids, then go back to their dorms to change. The bids tell them whether they need a white dress or not.

The sororities pick up the girls at their dorms since the campus is so spread out. They can't "run" like at Bama.

I really feel so sorry for the girls that don't receive bids or got cut out early. How hard is it going to be for them to watch as the sororities pick up the girls at their dorms while they just watch !! My heart breaks for those girls.

I agree!! This whole process seems barbaric, my heart goes out to all those girls AND their moms.

Until NPC pulls its head out of its butt on this issue, that's unfortunatelly probably all they can say.

Even if the NPC doesn't want to come out and say "No rec = slim to no chance of a bid" would it be wrong for the campus to actually come out and say it?

While it's not an easy process, going into rush everyone knows that there is a chance that they can be cut from all the groups or not get invited back to their favorites. But to call it barbaric is wrong.

Pref was last night, and bid day doesn't begin until 5:30 today. During that time the girls who don't receive bids are getting calls from their rush counselors letting them know they were released. That gives them enough time to get out of Dodge (or off the campus) if they don't want to be around the girls getting picked up.

I think most schools notify the rushees if they haven't received a bid before they get near anything resembling a bid day festivity.

Yes, the girls at UGA are notified if early if they do not get a bid. I believe the Rho Chi calls them.

Ant idea why DPhiE is still listed?

Love how they say it's not the PNM responsibility to get recs when that's so not true.

The books were probably printed before D Phi E made the official decision.
