Rush Advice for Sophomores

What is it lately with all the PNMs giving others recruitment advice when they A) haven't gone through recruitment yet and B) don't even attend the school in question?

Yes, I understand that they're not the same school nor are they located in the same city nor do they have much in common besides being located in Texas. However, I also stated that UT is much larger. So I'm not acting out of line by stating that a drop of sophomores will be pledged in a bucket of freshmen. No, I haven't attended recruitment but I have read quite a bit of GC and am simply sharing what I've read.

Also, if there were a rule stating that you must attend the school in question, almost no one would be getting advice and almost no one would be giving advice.

She's SO rollergirl.

It is the generally accepted rule around here that PNMs refrain from giving advice until they've gone through recruitment and received a bid.

Do not say that name a third time. I'm worried we'll end up with some kind of Beetle Juice situation on our hands.

She hasn't logged in for about two and a half years, I think we're safe.

I'd also advise any Texas PNM to get RECS. They're something that's standard at UT.

Sort of like applying to a Fortune 500 company. Everyone in the applicant pool will have an MBA, but that's just to get your foot in the door, so to speak.

Texas is a tough recruitment. Ditto what previous posters said about clubs and recs.

How good are you at riding a bucking bronco? -- because that's how it's going to feel. Just be prepared to "get back up on the saddle" each day, and you'll be fine. Keep an open mind to all the chapters. Good luck!

Yes you are acting out of line when you state things you're only guessing about. The A&M Greek system is nothing like the Texas Greek system and it has nothing to do with the size of the schools.

And it should be obvious from all the threads here that there are many people who have rushed and pledged sororities at a vast number of schools. These people are qualified and willing to give advice about these schools. GC has somehow managed to survive all of these years without the kind of expert advice you are trying to dispense.

I think it's fine to give advice, once someone has actually GONE THROUGH RECRUITMENT and RECEIVED A BID.

It's like someone who has never been to law school giving law school admissions advice.

It makes no sense.
