What did I do wrong?

[ellebud]

Okay ladies may I remind some of us, including me, that the OP is eighteen years old? She is confused, sad, and based on her last post (perhaps only now) really insecure. She, like many others, are in a new place, away from her comfort zone.

She made mistakes in recruitment. I don't think we (including the OP) really knows what happened and why. She asked more experienced people and frankly kept digging herself in deeper.

Read her last post. The kid is hurting. Let's chalk it up to: She screwed up (or not), she types (or speaks) without editing herself, and her first major move in college was (in her eyes) a disaster. And that, in my eyes, is sad.

True. For alot of girls, recruitment is likely the first major disappointment they've encountered (especially if the PNM is a pretty accomplished high schooler).

The best thing to do is treat it as a learning experience, should you choose to try again next year.

Ellebud-while I applaud your sympathy for her, I don't think she deserves much slack for the garbage she talked. She, like many other women who think they are above different chapters, blew her chance. I don't feel the least bit sorry for her. She isn't a child. She made her bed...I think you know the rest....

I would consider myself to be a pretty honest GCer and am certainly not one to coddle PNMs or blow sunshine.

However, I think you need to chill just a tad.

I'm just getting sick of all of these girls coming on GC looking for sympathy after telling us in their initial post that they felt they were "too good" for certain undesirable chapters. It disgusts me and you'll have to excuse me for coming off as being b****y regarding this, but it gets on my nerves.

If a girl really wants to go Greek-they need to stop being snobs!

As someone, like yourself, who is completely Panhellenic-minded, I am irritated for the women of the other organizations because all 26 NPCs have something great to offer. For the record, I plan on letting any other OP who comes on GC looking for sympathy, that I don't feel bad for them if they choose to have a bad attitude going through recruitment.

Thank you for your encouragement.

Yea, I was an accomplished high school student. And I know that college is a different experience now.

And I do understand why I don't deserve any sympathy for you. Thanks for setting me straight. I think I have been letting things get to my head lately.
