I may have to start nudging her that direction.

I'm doubly heartbroken to see that my sorority released her... and then didn't make quota. That was one of her top three and I know she's a bit upset with me that there was nothing I could do about it for her.

Wait, wait, your sorority did not make quota? You can contact them and find out if they are doing COB, and suggest that they get in touch with her.

But if they released her before pref, wouldn't that mean they weren't interested in offering her a bid? Otherwise my thought is that she would have been a likely snap bid candidate on bid day, right?

It's so hard to say, because they have a limited number of invitations. Maybe they DID want Suzie, just not as much as they wanted three hundred other PNM's. In a recruitment as large as South Carolina, nobody knows, including, I'd guess, the vast majority of the women in the chapter.

Even the snap bidding can be confusing. If it's a chapter that usually DOES make quota, they may not have submitted a snap bid list. If it's not, they may have submitted a very short snap bid list so as not to look "desperate".

As FSUZeta says above, if they missed quota, they may very well be open to getting to know her better. If you can honestly assess this woman and say that she'd make a good candidate for membership, contact the chapter.

I know I'm late on this, but from what I know, AGD will be participating in Round 1 and then dropping out (as usual). Colony recruitment will take place with LCs the week following formal recruitment. I'm already on the list to be a pearl sister. I am going to try to be there for pledging, but I AM SO THERE FOR THE INSTALLATION!

Late in coming back here but I'm happy to report that my cousin pledged Gamma Phi Beta during COB. And doubly happy it happened without any "interference" on my part.

Just further goes to promote what everyone here always says - everything works out the way it is supposed to, if it is supposed to.

And I won't lie that I'm very tickled to have another GPB in the family!

Congratulations to your cousin and Gamma Phi Beta!
