Yes, it is PH and also the Greek Life Staff.

For a few years, we actually did it...then my big became Recruitment Chair and, after consecutive phone calls saying that if we didn't take a particular girl [who was cut by ALL houses on Day 1, which should say enough considering we are very noncompetitive] we would "never make total or quota, ever again" [wrong - we did both that year, by the way] she told her to stop calling and threw her phone across the room.

That stopped it for THAT year...but we've gotten the calls for the past two years straight still. We have refused to take any girl we have cut - we do not want her if we have cut her. It's highly offensive, considering we are NOT a struggling chapter.

Since your not a struggling chapter, don't take offense. Maybe PH is just trying their best to work it out for one heart broken girl. You have the right to say no, and you did. I don't think PH calling a struggling chapter is any less offensive...you have the right, no matter how strong of a chapter you are, to choose your own members. Next time, inform them that you aren't interested and let it go. For all you know, they may have called the other chapters, too!
