First, I hope the students are able to complete their readings and course prep prior to their first classes today.
Second, PNMs should do their research before dropping from recruitment and pursuing the new colony. This completely neutral advice. Do your homework. Make your decision as an adult.
Why would a PNM drop from recruitment to pursue the new colony?
Why would a PNM drop from recruitment to pursue the new colony?
Because they aren't getting the invites back they want....and they think they'll have a better time/chance/not feel so out of place/not be left out/etc/etc/etc if they do this.
Why would a PNM drop from recruitment to pursue the new colony?
The chance to be part of a new colony is very exciting for some women. It also gives girls who may not thrive in formal recruitment a chance to join an organization but do it in a way that makes them more comfortable. There are lots of reasons someone might drop.
I can completely understand why someone would prefer to try their luck with a colonization. Especially introverts who might not shine in the chaos that is formal recruitment but would really shine in the small group and individual interviews during a colony recruitment.
Formal recruitment would have killed me. But I love conversation and can interview well. I'd definitely pick the one over the other.
