It makes me crazy that it is not in excel format so that I can search by city. Does anyone know an easy way to convert?

Can you copy it into a word doc and search that way?

Ctrl+F and the city or state will work even on the website. I'm always annoyed when things aren't sortable though.

Thanks, everyone. Yes, I was able to Control F. Strangely I have never needed that type of function before. Thanks for teaching me something new.

Was bummed to see that of the girls from my area none of them went Theta and what makes me even more crazy is that none of them registered with our Panhellenic. Therefore, we didn't know about any of them and thus could not/did not provide a rec. I hope that they were able to secure recs to all the houses on their own, but past experience in this town tells me that this is not typically the case. Perhaps I am just exasperated with the whole "you have to have recs to all houses" thing falling on deaf ears.

I am happy that they were able to find a new home at Bama, though. That is the most important thing.

While it is possible that they could have just secured all their recs on their own, I know for a fact that they did not obtain a Theta rec from anyone local.

How many times do we have to say that recs are a must? When will they learn?

I am happy that they were able to find good homes though.

This post kind of makes me feel weird. I mean, how do you know that they didn't know recs are a must? And what if they joined without getting any recs at all?

I get being a little disappointed no one joined Theta, but.. I dunno, it feels like you assume they would have wanted Theta over their current chapters but must not have had a chance.

Not necessarily what you meant, but it's how it comes across to me.

Sorry. Totally not what I meant at all. I will go back and attempt to edit it.

My point was simply that none of them signed up through the Panhellenic to even give us the opportunity to recommend them. I do know that cuts can be harsh at Bama without recs and so since they didn't sign up through the Panhellenic, that perhaps there were other houses in addition to Theta that they were lacking recs to as well.

I probably should have also stated that almost every single year there are local girls that decide to go through Bama rush at the last minute and therefore obtain only a handful of recs. Or they decide early enough, but feel that recs are only necessary for the 2-3 houses that they THINK they are interested in. In other words, despite our attempts at getting the word out that recs are needed for all houses that message is falling on deaf ears locally. I have even had PNMs tell me that recs aren't needed "because we pick where we want to go everyday anyway. It is our choice where we go back to." Hence the "when will they ever learn?"

The Theta thing was just me lamenting that perhaps they could have potentially had one more chapter in their mix to consider, not so much a 'they would have chosen Theta over the house that they did' thing.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will attempt to edit as that is not the vibe I intended at all.
