Completly honest recruitment thread

[KSUViolet06]

Thanks for posting this thread! Something people fail to realize is that chapters change. For example, my chapter went from one of the smallest, to the one of the top 3 (of 7) largest in 2 years. Also, reputations change. The sorority that was considered "the best" when I was a freshman, is certainly not now.

This is so true and something a lot of PNMs don't consider. My sorority went from last place (so I'm told) to the most desirable in under 5 years. They have a consistent high 90's% return rate and a wonderful sisterhood. The previous "top" house has suffered a lot and isn't so desirable anymore. Your best option is to go with your heart and not base too much on reputation!

People also don't consider that if a large group of PNMs joins a smaller chapter, they are no longer a smaller chapter! Also, that new member class will form the personality of the chapter because they will outnumber the others, particularly if they keep recruiting women like them.
