Maybe she was saying for the house she was a legacy for, she wasn't invited back the second day yet continued to go through recruitment and went to pref for 2 houses?

Thanks for the clarification!

I have a tendency to read entire posts, but for some reason I tend to overlook a sentence or two!

No problem, I do the same too, I'll read something and I'll need to re-read it to get the details down.

To add to the advice and warning, PNMs should keep in mind that the girls from the group are rushing you, wanting to make you want the group. Short of actually promising a bid, which would be a recruitment violation, their job is to make you see yourself in the group and want the group.

If they are good rushers, you're going to believe that they want you. They aren't going to seem disinterested having you are a member, even if they intend to cut you.

Additionally, no one member can really make it for you, really. But if you make it to prefs, the group probably really does want you.

Honestly, thanks for sharing. Your story shows alot of the most important things we TRY to tell PNMs:

*Being a legacy doesn't guarantee you a bid to your legacy chapter.

*Having the minimum GPA to participate in recruitment isn't always going to get you very far, since that GPA is often lower than the individual sorority GPA requirements.

*At the end of the day, there just aren't any guarantees with recruitment in general. You could have good conversations with girls everyday, you could look very put together every day, and you could follow every piece of advice you get. Sometimes (for whatever reasons), girls just don't get invited to join a chapter. Is it painful for PNMs? I'm sure it is, but every sorority has their reasons and is entitled to make those decisions.
