I had a lovely, long note from my rec gal, letting me know she'd received a bid from her third choice, which she declined to accept. I'm so sad for her, because she is top notch. I've encouraged her to strongly consider the Sigma Kappa colonization next year, when she'll be a junior.

I know we've discussed it before, but getting your third of three is tough, when you have two other groups you've bonded with at a stronger level.

*sigh* Wish I could have talked to her before she made the decision.

I agree, Sciencewoman. And since she did list all three of her preference chapters, she is not eligible for pledging another group for a year.

Many campuses are changing to 2 preference choices rather than 3, even when they have more than 15 NPC groups.

I shared both of those things with her. I really think that getting your second of two is much easier than getting your third of three -- that just hurts.

Yes. It was really a lovely note.
