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.

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 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.

I really don't think you want to go there -- you know, that whole pot and kettle problem.

I didn't have anything to do with that, and you can leave me and my chapter out of it.

I don't think anyone was attacking or ridiculing that mother. They were trying to point out to her that she had essentially shut the barn door after the horse got out. Could their tones have been different? Absolutely.

You still need to shut your trap and read more.

Isn't it nice that she's never identified her organization? She sits back and slams the underdog from her position of anonymity. So Panhellenic. I'm sure your sisters would be so proud. I just hope you are not an AOII!

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.
