2015 Indiana Recruitment

[SWTXBelle]

Two things to keep in mind -

1. Recruitment is competitive, in that the pnms are, in a way, competing against each other. If your daughter had all the objective criteria needed, and others did also, the chapter might have to decide amongst themselves which to issue their limited invitations to - did you realize that chapters have only a certain number of invitations they can issue to each round? Once you have the objective criteria, it's down to the subjective criteria. It is entirely possible that, could you know the objective criteria for every chapter, you STILL would not know why your daughter did not get invitations to all the sororities she was interested in, but it may well have been because they simply did not have enough spaces in their parties for all those who were qualified.

2. There really isn't anything you can say to allay hurt feelings very much. Rejection - for whatever reason -is going to hurt. Those who have a successful recruitment KEEP AN OPEN MIND and realize that every chapter has something to offer, and those who have invited them are really INTERESTED IN HAVING THEM AS SISTERS. Don't agonize over what might have been - look at what could be!

Good luck to her
