I just hope, Saxywalrus, that you make the right choice for you.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a big FAIL on the part of the rusher?

Well, it depends.

Saying it with a look on your face like the teacher who's reading the instructions for standardized tests: fail.

Saying it with big puppy dog eyes that may or may not have a tear dripping slowly out of them: winning.

There's a way to convey that you have love for all your Greek sisters in the other sororities and that the PNM's world won't end if she doesn't get a bid to your group, without actually pushing her to the other group by making it seem like you don't give a shit. It also depends where Flash is on the popularity totem pole. If they're one of the groups with the highest retention rates and always make quota and total, to do this is a very nice and caring thing because you know you're not going to be able to take everyone who wants you. If they are on the lower end of the pole, however...this is kind of honest to the point of shooting yourself in the foot. Especially seeing as ultimately, saxywalrus listed the other group first.

Ah, good perspective.
