So so true. The only thing guaranteed with IU recruitment is a black long sleeve tee and Pizza Express (excuse me, Pizza X blahhh) breadsticks coupon at the end. However one feels about IU's quota system and whether or not it should stay in place, the fact remains that awesome girls do attend a full preference round with 3 parties and do not receive a bid, and that just plain sucks. Hearing that "everything happens for a reason" might lead a PNM to start searching for that nonexistent reason or meaning.
On a more positive note, I hope recruitment is going well for both PNMs and chapters. Last year, as a senior, I swore I would not miss recruitment one bit. And now, I want to be back in Bloomington pinning sparkly paper to the ceiling of the living room at 4 AM.
