What advice to give to others who get that "no" multiple times...

@ SLAM...that was kind of my point above. Sometimes people come for the wrong reasons, but stay for the right ones. We've had some sisters fall in that category...

At the same time, if this girl hasn't let go of her desire to be in a social sorority, she is probably not ready for membership in a non-social one. I say, let her go through Recruitment one more time and see where things fall. If someone is verbalizing that your organization is something of a last resort, it's hard to take that person seriously as a PNM.

I would tell the girl that you found sisterhood and happiness with a GLO, just not in the way that you initially expected. That is a good metaphor for life in general, that you have to work through disappointments and setbacks, which are inevitable, and keep striving for happiness and fulfillment. It is a lesson that she will learn in time.

I would tell her to give NPC recruitment one more try. Women sometimes get a bid on the third try. Ask her to let you know how it goes. I would not bring up the possibility of her joining BSP. Let her bring it up if she is interested.
