REPUTATIONS SHOULDN'T AFFECT YOUR RECRUITMENT DECISIONS.

If you absolutely love an organization, who cares what Random Reggie has to say about your house? While there may be some truth to reputations, most of them are usually rooted in BS (Joe Smith dated an XYZ, they broke up, and now XYZ is the "slut" or "ugly" house).

Listen to what these women (who have already gone through recruitment) are telling you. They're not idiots.

Thank you.

Recruitment is about you and the chapters.

Not you, the chapters, and what everyone thinks of the chapters.

That's why it's something we don't make a habit of talking about here.

It doesn't make you more informed, it just makes you someone who cares too much about what other folks think.

This is really all I'm trying to say, but if someone is determined to care about that, then hey. Whatever floats their particular boat.
