Excuse me? I have never, ever, in my entire life been accused of playing it cool. You can verify that with one of your sorority sisters.
And, FWIW, I think it's bad form to out a PNM.

Agreed! Move over, there's still room on the sofa.

Whoops, I guess some people saw through my attempts to disguise where I am! I'm not from around here, and just figured there were enough schools here to not be obvious. I took away some more identifiable details, and will continue to post my rush experience.
Thank you for all the support! It's good to hear that a max number of bids isn't necessarily true. Yesterday my group was even bigger then before, which felt a bit daunting!
I will post the philanthropy night later today. Despite my group's large size, I'm still having such a blast. The sisters are all so great, and the other PNMs are such fun, sweet people. Even if it doesn't work out, I'm so glad to have met all these great girls!

I don't think she was addressing you. Rather, the OP had mentioned women who act like they are not that interesting in joining a sorority. Some may be on the fence, others want to be able to say "eh, I didn't care anyway" if they don't get a bid.

I knew I should have QFPed the entire post, because then the referent would have been obviously clear. In the spirit of diplomacy and tact, I did not.
The post I quoted a sentence from was removed after my response. Would that it were the interpretation that you offer, rather than the one I responded to. It had nothing to do with PNMs remarking on their participation in recruitment. It was specific to people guessing the OP's school, and in the post that I only quoted part of, she (not the OP) elected to name a specific university.
Hence, my remark about "outing" a PNM, which I still stand by. Thanks for letting me clarify and set the record straight.
I very much hope this young woman has a successful recruitment, wherever she is enrolled.

And good Lord, hopefully there are fewer than 400 girls in recruitment!
