If the chapter had released her any earlier, the complaint would be, "They didn't even give her a chance!" As it is now, the complaint is, "They took her all the way until right before pref and released her!"

The only way the chapter wins in the eyes of the mama & daughter is if they pledge her. For some reason, whatever reason, they chose not to.

As tough as it is on alumnae and family, we must realize that we had votes when we were collegians and now the current actives have that right to decide.

I don't even think there had to be an especially good reason. Sometimes, chapters decide to release girls for reasons of "fit" which might boil down to the girls just being kind of plain relative to the rest of the PNM pool.

I personally hate that, but I think it happens every year probably within all of the NPC groups.

If the mom really wants to know, she should work within her own group, but there's probably no good that will come of pursuing it.

Yep. This happened at my own colonization. We found out afterwards that 1 PNM who attended pref was not offered a bid and many moons later some of us found out that she basically was disrespectful and rude to the sisters during the party. Colonization is a different set of circumstances, but this was the only PNM invited to pref who did not receive an invitation...

I have seen it happen - though you have to convince the GA and the RFM specialist to drop one from your list. But it can - and does happen.

That right there is the problem. I've also seen it happen where they've told chapters to just put the PNM at the bottom of the list.

It's a very rare event that something like this happens, and most panhellenics still require that you list every person at pref on your bid list. Once you have them at pref, you're stuck. Better get that rap sheet in earlier.
