If you went to bid day, I'm assuming that means that you actually did accept your bid, which means that you're not eligible to pledge another sorority for one year (i.e. Fall 2010).

There is a new PHC rule at my campus is that any PNM that skips a party or signs their pref card with one sorority is kicked out of recruitment.

When you say "pref card" do you mean the card they sign before they go to pref parties, or the card they sign before bids are issued? Because NO ONE should EVER be forced to put a group on their bid card they don't want - they could be bound to that group for a year.

See, I have heard of PNMs being released for skipping parties (because PNMs should at least attend all events they're invited to).

However, are you sure the "signing a pref card with one sorority= kicked out" thing isn't a myth?

I know that it is a common misconception that ICS (the computer program) kicks out those women who "suicide" or ISP.

That's actually NOT true.

No PNM should be released from recruitment for doing that. She may be excluded from being Quota Addition. But she is never to be kicked out of recruitment.

I was told that by a girl in the house who is on PHC. She told us that it was part of the rule with the "no skipping parties" rule, but I will double check. I like the no skipping thing, but thought that part sounded a little crazy. We get our Rho Gammas back today and I will double check with them since they should know.

Ok, because I know that alot of Panhellenics have the "no skipping" rule, but the "no suiciding" thing is typically myth. I haven't heard of a school having an official rule stating that. PNMs shouldn't be released for suiciding.

The myth typically stems from the fact that girls who suicide aren't eligible to be QAs. At alot of schools, that somehow turned into them being kicked out of recruitment.

I believe that this would go against one of the Unanimous Agreements. I'd check with the NPC Advisor for your school as to the legitimacy of this rule.

But what happens to the PNM who only has 1 sorority left to place on her pref card? Does she get kicked out because only
1 sorority invited her to pref?

I think this is one of those "ICS automiatically kicks out girls who suicide" myths.

This is not true, to my knowledge.

to the OP, you are not going to be able to rush until next fall.

i hear over and over that recruitment counselors are telling pnms that if they list only one chapter on their bid card that her card will be kicked out and she will not be matched. it makes me wonder who is telling the rec. counselors this malarkie? i believe that they (r.c's) believe this is true-i don't think they are intentionally deceiving the pnms. it's kind of like the "we can't have sorority houses due to the brothel law" conundrum-who the heck started this rumor? who starts these things?
