How much is appearance weighed during rush?

[BlueCarnation]

I realize I don't have 3000 posts, but I know the difference between giving false hope and friendly encouragement. I would hope that no one would think they are going to get a bid based on what they read on a random website, but I know that recruitment is stressful and if you haven't been through it you don't know what to expect. It takes a lot of guts to post on here when you know (or don't, as is often the case) that every word is going to be inspected and criticized. It's easy for those of us who are fortunate enough to have had the experience of being a collegiate member to make certain comments; we have the benefit of hindsight.

No one is inspecting or criticizing PNMs. Seriously. I have no clue where all this passive aggressive "Violet and other GCers are so mean" stuff is coming from.

In the past few weeks we have had an influx of PNMs coming here to ask any number of questions that have been answered a zillion times and I don't see where anyone has posted anything mean to them.

The PNM who posted this question received not ONE negative reply, just good advice about appearances.

The only peeps we have even been remotely mean to in recent memory are the fake rush story folks. And really, they deserve it because they're dumb.
