Cut from all Chapters at UGA

I know you are trying to be helpful to OP, but MCGLOs should not be considered as an alternative for someone who was released from NPC recruitment. If OP was interested in pursuing a MCGLO, she would have taken those steps instead of signing up for NPC recruitment.

Or she might not have known about them? I personally know of two people who dropped from an NPC sorority and ended up in a MCGLO at UGA. It was a better fit for them, and in the case of at least one, she didn't know the second organization existed until after joining the first. Yes, dropping is sad, but I'm glad they found another home rather than just a bitter taste.
Maybe the organization you belong to looks at this differently, but there are certainly multicultural sororities at UGA that would accept someone who has been through NPC recruitment and even pledged an NPC house in the past.

Given the typical demographics of UGA, odds are this isn't even relevant, but I have no idea who the OP is or what her background is, so maybe it is an option she could pursue.

Hardofsec thank you for the kind words What is an MCGLO? Are those the black sororities? Because I'm not black.....lol (Not being racist) but I'm caucasian

If there must be some identifiable (negative) reason that a PNM is released from recruitment (as you have indicated), then why did your recolonizing chapter pledge them?



Surely ^this is not how you queried the girls who were released from recruitment, who subsequently pledged Delta Gamma following formal recruitment. Your chapter benefited from girls like SECglitter, who were released from rush, but who still wanted to be part of the Greek system.

I think that there are plenty of terrific girls who wind up being released -- many who do nothing specific, or negative, to cause their own release.

I thought GeorgiaGreek offered some great advice -- all the best to SECglitter.

Please note that I had something positive to say about girls released from recruitment -- I was not passing judgement regarding why they were released.

And yes, at Alabama, girls who are released from recruitment can be very important to the launch of a chapter new to campus (especially freshmen). They are interested in joining a sorority, obviously, as otherwise they would not have participated in recruitment.

Of course not. Fewer sophmores than freshmen participate in formal recruitment, and far fewer junior and seniors participate. What percent of freshmen in your colonizing class participated in formal recruitment? It is also possible that some percentage of the upperclassmen participated in formal recruitment years prior. Did you?

Nonetheless, PNMs like SECglitter, who want an opportunity to join the Greek system, can benefit a chapter new to campus. A win-win.



Because while Titchou was telling SECglitter why she was released, I couldn't ignore the irony that Titchou's own chapter benefited from released PNMs, like SECglitter, when recolonizing at Alabama.

Hopefully they were not similarly interrogated regarding their release, however.

Just. Shut. Up.

We get it. You don't like Titchou, and apparently, you don't like Delta Gamma at Alabama, either. Way to show the panhellenic love for your own school. None of these things have to do with what SECglitter wants to know.

SECglitter - I wish you all the best. Some PNMs do better with COB/informal. It's not quite so intense, and there's more of an opportunity for the sorority women to get to know you. UGA has so much going on. Get out there, get involved, and make as many friends as you can. It sounds like you have a lot to offer.

I think everyone needs to calm down a bit.

I don't understand why everyone is being so rude to heartofsec. She wasn't putting down DG at Alabama, she was merely stating that some women "slip through the cracks" during Formal Recruitment and that these women COULD be a perfect fit for a colonizing chapter. Not saying that the colonizing women who didn't go through Formal Recruitment aren't JUST as amazing.

I actually had a few sophomores in my pledge class that missed out on getting a bid their freshman year, so they re-rushed the next year and they are WONDERFUL women. I'm sure this is exactly what happened to SECglitter. The computer program isn't perfect, sometimes things like this happen!

Clearly, you missed the original Alabama-recruitment thread in which hartofsec was catty as all get out about DG. Read some more.

Ah yes, by all means. The thread where some of you were attacking and ridiculing a mother.

Exemplary representation of your respective chapters.

Have to disagree. Having read this thread and the other one where she and Titchou were going at it, it's hard for me to see her comments as anything other than an obvious, unnecessary and catty swipe at Titchou. The point you say she was merely trying to make could have been made just fine without bringing up again (as she did repeatedly in the other thread) that Titchou's chapter closed and is recolonizing

hartofsec needs to let it go already. It's not a flattering look.
