Hello all!!! It’s been ages since I’ve been here. Had a question on current recruitment practices, post-Covid.

Has anything within RFM had a major change in the last few years? Daughter of a coworker going through a competitive recruitment right now. She was completely released before preference round. Mom is losing her mind over it. Daughter told mom that she was told that as long as she maximizes her options each round, and lists all of the chapters she was invited to, she would make it through to preference. I told her (kindly, gently) that is not how it works and that only applies for preference round. If she’s invited to 2 pref parties and she lists them both, she will receive a bid from one of them. But if she’s released before preference, then her only option for now is to put her name on a list with the campus Panhell in the hopes of COB. Am I wrong?

There are very VERY few campuses where every PNM that goes through rush is guaranteed a spot by the University. How they can guarantee that, I do not know.

Sounds like this girl is not on one of those campuses and that she simply misunderstood what she was told by the rush counselor. Girls can be dropped by all chapters prior to Pref at most schools. Remember that she is also eligible for a snap bid after bid lists are made, if there are chapters who do not reach quota.....
