[UVASquirrel]

Bama Morgan (on the daily with Morgan) was dropped from recruitment. Rumors are that Bella Grace was dropped too.

Yes, NPC's guidelines state chapters should "Eliminate extraneous and costly performances. This includes, but is not limited to, recruitment skits and door stacks."

as well as "Eliminate the required purchasing of recruitment event attire for chapter members."

Bella Grace is still in it and was heading to Bid Day earlier. Morgan was dropped.

My rec girl is on a TikTok live now and said she got dropped yesterday. She was a pageant girl and everything. I'm really surprised.

Membership selection is private and sadly, girls do get dropped from the process at times, though before pref is somewhat unusual, though it happens.

I've naturally been lurking Rush Tik Tok for a while and the way people found out who her Rho Gamma was and are actively asking why she got dropped is rude, and I've even heard that people are harassing other PNMs who didn't get dropped. I get it, you want to see a PNM succeed during this process and find their home, but openly asking a Rho Gamma, who job is to deliver the news to the PNM ... I can't believe it.

Luckily, there have been Greek Alumni or those who have worked as chapter advisors/consultants who are trying to explain the situation to those who don't know about the process. PNMs were even told to not post outside of OOTD, and some are blaming a teen vogue article that came out (I'll link it here)

The involvement of these grown women off of tic tok is bizarre.

I hope all the schools ban PNMs from social media until bid day.

They are blaming that article, but the other young woman who contributed to that article still got a bid. I think we need to be honest. Morgan is not like the women who typically join sororities at Bama. She would have been a GREAT fit in the chapter I joined, but not at Bama. I did very much enjoy watching the OOTDs but at the same time, kept thinking to myself that nobody on my entire campus would have made it at Bama. The focus on designer everything, the amount of makeup worn, the jewelry, the hair, etc.

I read on that *other* site that Bella Grace may be sporting an arrow! In any case, I am glad she found a home!

Yup saw her opening up her bid! I did see a few Alpha Phis, a Chi O, and several Zetas!
