Tippiechick, well said!! I mean it, I agree with you! Well said sista

It really sounds to me that you went into recruitment with the wrong attitude and such. We do know more than you think. For goodness sakes we are trained for lack of a better phrase "weed through the bad apples". We can see straight through a girl who is putting on a front.

And what many pmn do not realize is it's a two way street. It's not hard to tell from both sides where the pmn fits.

You actually made my point, in a way. I would much rather someone not give me any false hope of getting asked back if she has any idea at all that I won't fit in there. I know sometimes it is hard to tell.

Although I'd love to hear how I went into Recruitment with a bad attitude. I ended up in a place I'm happy. Yes, I got cut from two houses I was surprised about, but I don't know of anyone who didn't get cut from houses they were surprised about.

I guess I've learned my lesson here...next time I want to disagree with someone, I'll keep my mouth shut. Funny thing is, I wasn't even disagreeing...

1) Those girls were probably not trying to give you false hope. Get over it. They actually probably liked you.

2) RIF! She was addressing the OP.

3) Disagreeing is perfectly fine and encouraged. But, be aware, that people on here aren't going to let comments go if they don't agree with them.

Geeze. I didn't SAY they were "trying" to. I wasn't trying to start an argument with you over that, too!! I was simply saying that the girls probably DO know best if a PNM is going to fit in, and if they have any idea that they won't, then maybe it would be better to not ever even bring up the possibility of another invite. That's the only thing I was trying to say. Merely a comment. I wasn't disagreeing with you at all.

I was posting about the OP. Sorry for the confusion and sorry I cannot type tonight. Apologies guys. It's PNM duhhh. wow anywho. These are two different stories with two totally different scenarios. The op and yours uk2011. Bottom line and this should be the basis of it all. We cannot tell you what went wrong. We were not sitting in the room, conducting recruitment with the people you rushed. Sorry, there's the truth, black and white. If you don't like it, don't go into rush thinking you'll end up in house, you'll be very disappointed. I cannot say it enough and i feel like it's been said more times than i can count. Go into rush with an open mind, give everyone a chance... blah blah. I thought it would be more common sense, but apparently that's far from the truth.
You win some, you lose some. IT'S LIFE!
