Confusing rush story

[Jess1994]

Yes there is modt groups pledge between 8 to 12 girls except for one of the locals which usually gets around 2 to 3

What seems odd is that it appears to be almost completely in the hands of the PNM as to which chapters to continue to visit. And then at the end, the organization can decide whether to issue the bid....but they don't decide if someone comes back to attend a party in the second round? Or are all the rounds open until bids are distributed? And there are two concurrently running recruitment processes, one formal and one COB? For the love of all that's holy, someone 'splain this! (and tell where it is)

[sigmagirl2000]

I can't find ANYTHING about their actual recruitment at all. I don't see dates, structure, info for PNMs, nothing......

I could just be a not so savvy GC sleuth....

There are some schools where rush is a cluster and where they do other stupid things, like thinking it's appropriate for a member of a co-ed service fraternity to be the president of IFC and govern social fraternities (whose membership selection rules are nothing like theirs). My guess is that it is one of these.

And yeah, that's pretty much how the houses on my campus were. The chapters were 50-70 people, but the houses only held 10-14. They were made-over family houses, varying sizes of bedrooms, etc. To most of us, living in the large sorority houses with adults supervising would be kind of like living in a dorm and the whole point was to get OUT of the dorm.

I normally love recruitment stories. This year hurts my brain.

[Katmandu]

On campuses where there are old, strong recruiting locals, along with newer nationals and service orgs that are functioning as socials, and they are all folded into the same council and sharing the same recruiting structure/s....it can be a strange world, far removed from the organized and fairly straightforward systems many of us experienced. I think the OP is describing the chaos she experienced.

[Jess1994]

Thank you KatMandu! You are 100% correct. I was trying to describe the chaos as best as I could but I ended up confusing and frustrating people more.

Jess, it's a new day. Here is your next task. Take a writing class. Learn to edit your thoughts into cohesive sentences and paragraphs. Don't hit send after you've just put down a stream of consciousness. That only worked for Faulkner. Be straightforward in your communication. That'd be a great start!

And back away from GC for a while, since you're finished with whatever it is you tried to describe. Put a period at the end of the sentence, this chapter is finished.

Jess, this is the best possible advice you could receive written in the nicest possible way. Please take it to heart, and remember the way that you communicate-- written or otherwise, is what you present to the world and will affect the way the world perceives your intelligence and abilities. In other words, it does matter. Good luck in your future endeavors.

suggested edits. Probably could be tightened up more.
