Possible Thread: What to Do if You're Released from Recruitment

[wcjane]

I'm reading and trying to absorb everything you're all saying. I'm also trying not to panic. I feel like it's like college admissions - dream school which has a 1% chance of happening, reach schools, 50-50 schools, safety schools. I'm ok with that. I have a completely open mind right now because I don't know any better. I'm a little nervous and hope I'm able to quickly figure out what is what for me and rank like I did for college admissions.

In another thread, someone mentioned having a "fallback" sorority when ranking. This can be hard for someone who isn't as savvy about the sorority tiers, but for a PNM who has done her homework, it sounds like it could be a strategy to keep from being completely released. As long as she honestly LIKES the fallback group and could see herself being happy there.

I think this is a great idea. It's kind of like applying to college. I don't care if you're a 4.0 homecoming queen with a perfect SAT score who cured cancer her junior year, you don't just apply to Ivy League schools and expect it to happen. You apply to another school you like as well where your chances of being accepted are higher, just in case!

In preparation, you have been asking the right questions, and carefully reading the responses. I think you'll have a fine recruitment.
