Pref mess up?

There may be cases, one in 10,000, where a computer input (I hope that I am using the correct words here.) is wrong. But I suspect that this is caught before damage is done. I KNOW that when my D went through last year every round bid distribution of invitations were late because Panhellenic received invitations late, bid lists late and/or were checking results again.

Why? Probably because EVEYONE was checking/rechecking for accuracy.

So many women (and moms) who post recruitment stories say, "I had the BEST time at Alpha Alpha Poop Poop!!! And then they dropped me! They even said, "I'll see you tomorrow!!!" What gives?"

Please move on. Recruitment is like that. Surprises, good and bad happen. If you take it so seriously that you don't sleep, cry for weeks, and constantly replay what happened PLEASE go to the Student Health Center. (I am assuming that the Rho Chi talked with you at length. I am assuming that you talked with your floormates/roommates/mom/aunts first. But if the depression, anxiety, or really "off" feelings persist: talk to a professional.

And the truth is we tell everyone at pref how much we want them. Because we do. They wouldn't be at pref if we didn't think they'd be a good member. The point of pref is to seal the deal and make all of those pnms want you. The only problem is that we want some girls more than others and if they want us as much, then another girl isn't going to get a bid from us.

Basically this. Not getting the bid after pref doesn't mean we hate you, it doesn't mean we lied to you, it (almost certainly) means that we hit quota before matching got to you on our list.

(The more I think about it, the more I think we did submit our list before pref on our campus.)
