Then the matching crew did not do a very good job

I've said before that while I understand the concept of matching sister who played lacrosse with PNM who played lacrosse, I don't think it's infallible. PNM may be sick as crap of lacrosse and never wants to play it again.

Plus some women are trying to reinvent themselves in college and the last thing they want is to talk to the popular girl who unknowingly gave them an inferiority complex from 5th grade on.

It usually does work, but humans would not be humans if it was 100% perfect.

Houses at UGA don't usually match PNMs with Sisters until later rounds, sometimes not until Prefs. The PNMs file in the foyers and sisters literally go find someone to snatch up.

Yeah, when first rounds are 25 minutes, and you have 50 PNM's coming through (I don't know exact numbers at UGA, but that's how my alma mater was), you don't have the time to match in the early rounds.

All three of my girls went Greek at UGA! One went Alpha Chi Omega, another went Chi Omega, and the last girl went Alpha Omicron Pi! I'm so glad they all had such a positive experience!

I would have thought the same thing but my daughter explained before recruitment that it is imperative that these girls meet other people that can also vouch for them. It does help though if the person they know speaks up with who to pair them with. My daughter is at another SEC school and her sorority does pair from day 1.
