Meh. I still don't think there is something necessarly wrong with the system because girls aren't placed. The majority of PNMs are. Remember, there are many variables that go into Membership Selection. We just aren't in a position to say for sure whether someone should/shouldn't have received a bid.

At any rate, FSU is a really great school, and I do hope that our PNMs find ways to get involved in activities that interest them and have a great college experience. That's important because you never get a "do over" of your college years.

I tend to agree. I sympathize with PPT and PNM and totally encourage them to keep an eye out for COB opportunities, should they still want to be in a sorority, but I have to believe that on most levels, the system works. If it doesn't, and people are going to get all up in arms about it, then find a solution that works and get hopping on making that happen.

Furthermore, if Alpha Phi is turning these PNMs away in great numbers, the system is built in such a way that future colonies may be established, should that be the choice of the CPC and university along with other member groups in the NPC. It won't help PPT and PNM, but every colony established is a step in the direction of more inclusiveness on the part of Greek Life at FSU.

It might be naive, I just really hesitate to throw out a "baaah the system doesn't work! The system sucks" when we're currently at a loss as to what changes could be made (aside from guaranteeing placement, adding an upperclassmen quota, raising total, and bringing another colony on campus - I'm talking the bare bones of the NPC formal recruitment process here) which would make it better.

It's a total bummer for both of you guys. Good luck with COR, should you choose or have the opportunity to participate, and good luck in your college years.
