And god forbid this struggling chapter does a drastic improvement this year and becomes a contender. And don't think it can't happen. There are a lot of girls who had to make cuts early in recruitment who might be more than willing to COR the bad house because they know that more than likely this is their only chance because they're freshmen and sophomores have virtually no chance there.
Please forgive me for the clumsy Paris Hilton allusion. Returning to the matter at hand, DubaiSis creates a valid scenario for amperches to emerge on top. If all the planets align correctly, she could be in a much better position than now.

Using my own example as a template, I watched my house move from struggling to successful in two years because the brotherhood picked good, dynamic pledge classes from freshman through junior years, which led to picking more of the same. If we could do it, anyone can.

The game ain't over until it's over; I'm betting on amperches to pull it off.

You have no idea what you are talking about. You are a fraternity man who went to Allegheny College. Allegheny is nothing like A&M (I'm from Pittsburgh and have many friends who went to Allegheny).

You obviously know nothing about the competitiveness of rush at schools like A&M. Please stay in your own lane.

Ms. kddani: I'm still entitled to my opinion, regardless. The scenario presented seemed plausible; therefore, I supported it. Why does it bother you or anyone else that she may succeed?

My advice to you, ma'am, is not to be so willing to belittle someone who disagrees. I, too, am from Pittsburgh and have friends who went to Allegheny.

Go Gators!

You're entitled to your opinion but we here at GC like to avoid giving out wrong information and giving false hopes. The situation is not likely plausible.

Wrong advice bothers me. I didn't belittle you. You do not appear to understand what sorority recruitment is like at a massively competitive southern school It isn't fair to those girls to be unrealistic.

The scenario could have been plausible but it was incredibly improbable.

If it happens, great. Wishing her luck in general, great. Promoting something you know nothing about? Shitty when you're giving false hope and bad advice.

Here this is called "staying in your lane." Put your blinker back on and refrain from commenting on sorority matters from a position of authority.

And others who know a lot more about it than you do are entitled to their opinion that your opinion is completely uninformed.

See how that works?
