I guess my real question is, at all the rush, informal or what not how many of you have seen girls who had been there before? Did you look down upon them? I know that seems harsh to say, but I mean did you feel bad for them or something? OR did you think to yourself, wow that's a girl with courage and dedication to try again?

Through the years as a collegian, I definitely saw repeat PNMs at rush (both structured and COB). The reaction depend on the girl. There are some that I couldn't believe were back and others that I thought "how has this girl not been pick up by another group yet?!?" One instance in particular, there was a girl who went throught Structured Recruitment and didn't get a bid. She then came to our COB and was not offered a bid, but she kept coming back. She was, at the time, a very quiet girl and it was extremely difficult to pull conversation out of her, which turned a lot of people off. But, she swayed us with her determination and, once bid and initiated, she became a very active member...one who was always willing to do something for a sister.
