How do I join a sorority that is colonizing this fall at FSU?

But if she didn't have any other pref parties or she was at the bottom of everyone else's list and you're the chapter few pnms are ranking as their top choices, guess who is getting Patti? Chapters on campuses with GP need to be sure that they would be ok with every single pnm they invite to their pref party before they give out their invites.

And this has nothing to do with colonization of course, but I think this needs to be clarified since it was mentioned here.

Can Low-Tier Lambda drop Patti McB - that is, not invite her to pref - or does Panhel compel them to invite a certain number of rushees back to every party including pref? Because if I get it right, what GP guarantees is if the rushee follows through and goes to all the parties she's invited to, she gets a bid. The onus is on her, not the chapters.

Panhel gives them the numbers that are recommended by RFM. Even if a chapter is recommended not to drop anyone, they can still drop people. Grade risks and people who walk in and go "I hate you" are probably first to go. I don't know of any campus where panhel can compel a chapter to take PNMs back, although apparently some may pressure chapters based on some posts here.

Like BR said, Pref is where you have to draw that line and say yes or no.

They can't force you. What they CAN do is call you over and over, telling you that if you don't put someone back on your list then you'll NEVER MAKE QUOTA AND NEVER MAKE TOTAL AND YOUR CHAPTER WILL BE GONE NEXT YEAR OMG.

I don't think the GAs should be able to comment on your list at all, unless asked.

Sore subject? But yes I totally agree. The bigger issue comes when your HQ is giving you that speech (that would be the same HQ that hasn't seen Susy McSluttipants screw her way through 5 dorms). In either instance, you just need to stick to your guns.

Ah so annoying, but not forced. I kind of get it in that some HQs/campuses/chapters are more number focused than others and they may not get it if you're NOT. But they should respect the chapter's wishes.
