Was there a separate junior quota or were juniors "free"?

Is that high or low for the campus?

In all fairness, I think we really did her a favor by telling her how rude the original comments were. Had she not deleted her comments (except for maybe the ones that were already quoted) the comments could have ruined her recuitment.

Based on the way she was describing everything, she probably could have gone on for each round about how their nail polish didn't match or how ill-fitting their clothes were.

She didn't seem to care at first, but I think it's because pnm's don't realize how many members from so many schools visit these boards.

Maybe next time we should just keep our mouths shut and watch the pnm's recruitment get ruined... there's entertainment for those who were all angry that the comments were deleted because of the entertainment value.

thanks for all the PM's wishing me luck/hoping my recruitment went well, but i sort of learned that i should be a little more discreet- so how could i possibly give the name of the sorority i'm in (or not in? you never know )? the sorority as well as i will only be attacked by those who were mad about my initial posts, and why would i let that happen?

by the way, i'm guessing that those who were sooo offended by my observations (which were never meant to hurt anyone's feelings as i wasn't planning to reveal who was who) are either:
1.) old as hell (bored and attempting to relive their glory days through the internet) and have no room to be shallow anymore
2.) in one of the not-so-hot and not-so-popular chapters, like, babybetawhatsherface and trying to spread the notion that all chapters are equally attractive (seriously???). why would a pretty girl get mad that i called her pretty?

oh, and the toenails previously mentioned were not merely chipped but looked like they'd been painted a dark color 3 months ago (less than 1/2 the nail had polish!?). to me, this just shows a lack of effort and personal hygiene. anyone can paint her toenails, or at least REMOVE the frickin polish if it looks like that. or don't wear sandals?

i didn't say that some of those chapters wouldn't make good friends or sisters or whatever, just tried to narrow it down easily at the beginning by who had the same sort of style as i do (i don't mean for that to sound conceited- if i hated wearing makeup and thought pedicures were annoying, my preferences would be completely different because i would initially pref. whichever chapter looked most like me).

anyway, by first pref party, everyone was cute and i no longer based my preffing on appearances, since i got to know everyone a little better. i wasn't out to find the best looking house, since, imo, it is hands down "raspberry sorbet" (and that wasn't my top pick). i don't know, would anyone be able to figure out who i am if i said which houses i went back to (in code, perhaps)? there aren't THAT many junior transfers around lol

I don't know if that includes the junior quota, but last year quota was 57, so 48 is low.
