There is no excuse for someone like the Greek coordinator not knowing every rule in the Green book. Having said that, the damned thing can be awfully tricky to understand. There are SO many nuances & permutations that effect rush. I wish you all the best in finding your home.

It's much more common than you think. Many schools pay the Greek life director a pittance - that is, if it's actually a regular paid position and not a grad student on assistantship - and many schools also could care less if the person they hire has any Greek experience at all, or if they don't, if they will make an attempt to learn.

It's a quite effective way to make a mess out of Greek life without it actually seeming like you're doing it on purpose.

nkim - if the group wanted to give you a bid before I wouldn't see why they still wouldn't want to. Since the Greek coordinator screwed up, you should be able to go ahead and take the bid even if the group is over quota and total. I'm sure the group will be perfectly OK with having one extra person. If she flips the script again, go over her head to her boss.

Yeah, he's probably right. If for some reason the Greek coordinator did get this wrong and they DIDN'T offer you a bid, that would be hella embarrassing.

Do you have class with/live in a dorm with any of the sisters? If so, try and strike up a conversation the next time you see her - her reaction should tell you where you stand.
