Just as an FYI: There are some sorority members who may be new at talking to PNMs and are nervous, so they tend to talk more about the sorority rather than getting to know the PNMs (without realizing it). It's not something that is intentional all the time.

I actually think you might be right. They're sort of new on campus (established about a few years ago) so it totally makes sense.

I wouldn't lie about being a legacy. It's like what Kansas_City said. My parents weren't in the Greek system but my cousins were. I listed them down and I guess it's not considered "legacy" at my school.

The house that I didn't feel a connection with IS a top house, but I'm not sure if it's worth it if I couldn't even keep a conversation going with some of the girls.

It's probably not a "legacy" anywhere, but some chapters might give a cousin special consideration.

Right. This is something they've never done. So I wouldn't call it "desperation," so much as just being inexperienced.

I personally wouldn't discount them in the middle of recruitment. As I said before, dropping out and rushing again next year does not always yield a different or better result.

I suggest staying in recruitment at least until Preference and just seeing what happens.
