ETA: It's very easy to piece together who is who during recruitment through their GC posts, i.e. which PNM is so-and-so.

Great, so you figured out the houses. You want a cookie for that?

And YES, you should post your opinions even if you're dead wrong about the reputations! PNMs usually realize that their perceptions were wrong by the end of Recruitment. And so what if they don't? It's their life.

This forum is for Recruitment stories; not Recruitment platitudes!

A-FREAKING-MEN! The whole point of this forum on GC is for PNMs to share a story and tell us what they're feeling while they're going through recruitment. If what he or she happens to be feeling is "oh my lord, I can't stand to be in this house another minute" or "wow, that girl's shoes are heinous" or "this is the best conversation I've had with a complete stranger ever" it doesn't matter - let 'em write it down! There are warnings all over the place about discretion and tact, so quit saying it, they get the point by now! If all someone is going to do is come in to the RS forum and tell the PNMs that it's just obvious where they are and how it's "clearly" going to ruin their entire rush then get the heck out and let the rest of us who enjoy reading a good story and don't plan on calling a chapter at her school to say "there's a girl rushing who thinks you have bad shoes" do so in peace!

NCSE88...I hope you decide to continue your story. I think that every PNM is entitled to her own opinion about each chapter. If I was in one of these chapters, I'd take your comments as constructive criticism. Not everyone is going to feel comfortable at the same chapters at which I am comfortable, so I don't get offended if they aren't. I thought you explained yourself very well. I was glad to see that you were able to see past the rumors you heard before recruitment. Let's face it...there are rumors about chapters that PNMs hear. You did a great job making your own mind up about the chapters. I want to know how it ended for you!

I also would like to get the end of your story as well!

She PMed it to me.....good read.

If you ask her by PM or something she may.

It turns out pretty well, Jimmy Choo.

I'm so sad that another true recruitment story was ruined because of people who have made GC something that it wasn't meant to be.....judgmental.

I would love to hear the rest of this story if you would PM it to me. I can't wait to find out where you went!

I agree. As long as a PNM is posting her actual, experienced thoughts and feelings about a chapter (i.e: "I didn't like this conversation...they seem too focused on my appearance" vs. "Everyone hates this chapter because they suck") we can learn a LOT about how a chapter is coming across during recruitment, not to mention how different recruitments are across campuses. Not to mention learning a little bit more about what PNMs respond positively and negatively to during recruitment.

I'm sure we all know of amazing chapters that just don't do as well during structured recruitment...they may not be aware of how they come across to PNMs. Reading these stories may give us some insight or prompt a private conversation on how to help these chapters out.

Even though I'm not very vocal on these recruitment threads, I do read them (and learn a lot!). I would also be interested in hearing the rest of your story NCSE88...if you are still reading this thread, PM me.

I would like to join the rest of you who would like to hear the rest of this story. I found it rather refreshing from the usual "I didn't think I would fit in there" stuff . It is not like she said that one of the chapters was pond scum and she would rather take a power drill to her head than be a member. Stop being so critical guys.

[ZTAngel]

I'd love to hear the rest of your story too.

[WhiteDaisy128]

I'd love to hear the rest as well! :-)

I would love to h ear the rest of your story as well if you are still sending it out by PM. Hope it all ends great! Thanks!
