Rushing again

[Barbie's_Rush]

Why do some greekchatters who feel compelled to tell us what meanies we are assume that everyone is some old alumna?

Some people are so out of touch with the reality of membership selection today, and I don't care if you are able to sit in with a chapter you advise or have daughters who tell you things or whatever. Plenty of stuff goes on behind the scenes that you will never ever see.

I think it does a disservice to tell pnms, particularly the ones re-rushing, that "yay! just make friends, join some clubs and bring your grades up and you can totally have another chance with your dreamy top tier chapter!" Unless you are at Wazoo Non-competitive U and went into your first recruitment with a 1.2 gpa, smelling of rotten diapers and acting like a deaf mute during parties, this is most likely not true. In 99.9% of the cases, your second recruitment is going to be less successful than your first one and you need to know that going in. Blowing alumna sunshine up people's butts about how things "should" be is not going to change it.

No one is saying that. Trust.

Why was it appropriate to derail this young woman's thread like this?

Because someone was on the train to Pantywadsville and thought they'd stop here along the way?
