I suppose the intarwebs are full of "experts."

Do you remember Rollergirl2001? It's like Deja Vu.

She was THE WORST. I actually got fed up and called her out at one point via PM (which I think caused her to declare that she was leaving).

I like how she tried to tell me which houses I had on my list. Um..I think I would know that better than anyone.

And especially being a sophomore..ha...she'll automatically be cut by certain houses. A person rushing the second time around?? HUGE RED FLAG.

I'm also pretty sure that the only houses on campus that might even come CLOSE to having 15 legacies in a house are SDT and AEPhi.

I am wondering if this is the girl who went through last year and didn't get houses back, went through open and got a bid, declined, and tried to start her own sorority..only to be on the list to rush again this year. I wouldn't be surprised if its her. It sounds like she can't handle rejection at all...or has a huge lying problem and can't stand to be called out on things.

I find it ironic that she put so much stress on being a legacy in her authoritative advice posts, but admits she is a legacy in her edited posts. But heck, VAgirl, you were only in a house at IU and she was a mighty PNM legacy who failed to even get a single invite to pref parties. What could you possibly know?

I trust that both my own sisters and my Panhellenic sisters will do the right thing during this recruitment as well.

I do have a quick question about your recruitment. Do the PNMs know which houses they are invited back to for the next round before they come back early from break?

While I was at IU, no. I'm pretty sure the policy remains the same, but I have heard of a few people having their rho gammas call them prior to the start of parties to let them know that they haven't received any houses back. You obviously know not to come back if your GPA isn't high enough or if you don't want to continue.

The lists are NOT released prior to break and most of the time people get at least two or three houses back. You don't know which houses til the night prior or morning of...not sure as to how they do that now. It sucks that people have to come back from break early only to potentially not have any houses and spend a few days alone before classes start, but its part of the process.

Recruitment rules have become SEVERELY relaxed since I was there, but I'm pretty sure that the methods for letting women know is still the same.

Wow.
