That phrase was one that was on our "no" list to say, but it can be REALLY hard to say goodbye sometimes, and it slips out. As far as I know, no one has ever used it as a dirty rush tool. Dirty rushing is usually a lot more explicit ("We love you." "I can't wait til you're an XYZ!" "I'll see you here on Bid Day!"). I bet that girl regretted it the moment it came out of her mouth, but couldn't figure out how to take it back.

When I went through, I had a girl say "See you tomorrow! I mean... I hope I see you! I mean... maybe I'll see you?" It's just one of those holes you dig yourself into and there's no graceful way out of

How has your Rho Chi group been affected by H1N1? I have several friends who are current recruitment chairs and they said girls are dropping like flies. Some PNMs are even wearing masks?! Yikes!!

Hey everyone!
Sorry for the lack of updates on my part. Just so ya'll know, I had to miss House Tour/Philanthropy Day and Pref Night due to (you guessed it) Swine Flu.
Luckily for me, this has actually been a very common occurence this year, so I was still invited to TWO houses for Pref Night and was able to rank them over the phone with my Rho Chis. Even though I have to miss Bid Night tomorrow, I will (hopefully) be a new member of a sorority and will update everyone then!
Thanks for reading!

Wow, so sorry to hear you got the flu! Glad to hear that you still got some invites even though you were sick. I hope you feel better!

And, I may have entered your choices into the computer! Small world, eh?!?! I was one of the area NPC alums assisting last night. Area NPC alums and student affairs professionals as well as UNC Student Affairs staff help during the card signing by explaining the agreement when the PNMS are ready to submit their preferences or entering the data into ICS so that the Greek Life Office can deal with issues, support the Recruitment Counselors, work with RFM, etc.

Women who were unable to attend Preference due to illness and had invitations were able to submit their ranking via phone and email last night. The H1N1 situation is only getting worse so everyone is definitely happy that recruitment is finished!

Last night was a great time, and I have my fingers crossed for all of the women.
