Classes conflicting with recruitment?

[qbt1990]

I personally missed class for recruitment my freshman year and don't regret it at all. I am OCD about going to class and am extremely focused on academics, but I still tell everyone I know going through recruitment it's not a huge deal to miss one class right in the beginning. My school doesn't even have a competitive recruitment and every year it's the same: girls who miss parties are automatically not invited back to that house. Again, school is obviously of the utmost importance but in many cases it's possible to get caught up the following week. Also - agreed with the poster above - do not talk to professors about missing because of sorority recruitment, it usually doesn't go well. haha.
P.S. Be careful because i know at some schools you get dropped from recruitment if you miss class for recruitment parties. Make sure you know your school's specific policies.

Edited to clarify: each individual chapter does choose whether or not to invite the girl back, it's not like a panhellenic rule to cut girls if they go to class instead of recruitment. But as KSUViolet said, every chapter has to cut a certain number and if a PNM skipped a party, it's hard to justify inviting her back.

I'm pretty sure that at my school, it was up to the indivdual chapters to decide to invite you back.

With the release figures the way they are now, chapters do have to release certain percentages of women, and more often than not, a girl who missed a chapter's party wasn't asked to come back.
