Any good PNM stealing stories?

[carnation]

True story:

New member class at a medium-sized university is running joyfully to their new house.

Members of another sorority catch up with them and grab one of the PNMs and say, "Wouldn't you rather be one of us?" (i.e., we suddenly have a vacancy)

Members then run off with the NM.

Protests to the Greek advisor and national offices and NPC were met with, "Would you have really wanted a member who preferred to be in the other sorority?"

NPC agreements be damned. Gotta love it!

I would have countered with "well, if they want her bad enough to break the UAs, she can be equal to 5 other women they would have taken to fill their quota."

I always wondered if there was a back story that no one was told for the group to be willing to break the UAs. Super-legacy who was accidentally cut? Panhellenic mistake with the computer?

There had to be more!

I've told this story before, but it is worth repeating. Pnm goes thru recruitment my senior year, when I was a recruitment counselor-she was not in my group. She is a double legacy(big sister is a senior in the house) to a chapter on campus. She has a great recruitment, and prefs. her legacy chapter, and two other strong chapters. When she opens her bid, she finds that she has been dropped by her first choice, her legacy chapter, and has a bid from her second choice. Investigations are done, and it comes out that Legacy Chapter recruitment VP mistakenly left legacy's name off bid list ! Legacy mother is a national officer of the sorority, strings are pulled, and daughter does get to pledge her legacy chapter. We never found out the deal that was struck, or what concessions legacy chapter gave to 2nd choice chapter.

And I think that is as it should be... A big mistake was made -- no need to punish the PNM and her family for the rest of their lives.

My sophomore year, my "Rush Crush" pledged Phi Mu. I was sad, but we still remained friends. Long story short... she depledged and joined Chi Omega the next year.

My junior year, I rushed a Phi Mu legacy. Her mother was a Phi Mu and her grandmother had been a charter member of Phi Mu at her school. Mom pressured her daughter, but in the end, she joined Chi Omega and won Homecoming Queen as a freshman!
