Recommendation Caution to PNM's

[dfriedm1]

I did not know what reccomendations were until a few days ago. My parents were not Greek so I contacted my local alumni association and everyone I have contacted has been sooo helpful! Do not be afraid to contact listed alumni, they are very nice and helpful.

How does one go about discovering if recs are a big deal on their campus? I'm in an odd situation as I'm going to be a grad student and I wonder if it would really make a difference for me.

One of the purposes of a recommendation is for a member to introduce you to the chapter prior to recruitment. It doesn't hurt to have one. They best way to find out the extent of their use at your school is to talk to someone there.

Do you mind if I brag a little? I've been lurking a bit, but studying a LOT, and have a perfect GPA going into the end of the school year! Which means my parents are a lot less worried that I'm going to ruin my life if I continue cheering and all in my Senior Year!!!

And, I think I will have recs for the sororities where I'm applying--or at least, I should, after all the socials I've been to! To how many schools did you all apply? My list just seems to get longer, not shorter!!

I guess I'll see you all in less than a year, for last minute advice!

I like the posts that adpiucf has made here. I think she has been very helpful to PNM's.

I appreciate your putting my in my place. Silly me for stating that these subjects were already addressed in other threads!

Well, OBVIOUSLY the point wasn't clear enough if I had to make a big deal about. May not annoy you but I don't have the time.

NOW...........this is MY thread so please stick to the point.

adpiucf, I'm not one of those snarky mods who like to put you in your place, but I just wanted you to know that the threads you have started in the Rush forum have been very helpful not just to PNMs, but to many other GCers as well.

I hope you continue to promote this Panhellenic spirit, and may you be an inspiration and an example to those people (mods and non-mods alike) who don't know how to be Panhellenic.

Ditto Sandy -- I appreciate all the contributions you've made to the rush forum over the past few months, and I'm sure many, many PNMs do too. I think some people on GC tend to let their egos get in the way of remembering that that's what this forum is mostly all about -- the rushees!

[HotDamnImAPhiMu]

agreed. I think you've had some great posts and the rush forum wouldn't be as insightful without you.

Save the snotty comments, please!

I think adpiucf's threads have been awesome and really helpful. God forbid someone who isn't a moderator trying to help PNMs. If you don't want to read her threads, why don't you just put her on ignore, like you've been telling the rest of us peons to do when we have a problem with someone?

Adpiucf, your panhellenic spirit makes me really proud to call you my sister. Violets to you!

Yes. I really don't get the hostility at all.

I never said a thing about anyone giving PNM's advice. I just happen to think that PenguinTrax and Carnation do an excellent job of moderating this forum, and can make their own moderating decisions without input from the masses.

Um, I'm pretty sure she didn't try to make any moderating decisions. All she said was that she had included this information in another thread. Under normal circumstances, people that create a thread that is already in existence elsewhere are directed to post in the already created thread.

I have absolutely no problem with this thread, but I have a problem with people jumping all over adpiucf for attempting to help. But of course, I don't matter, since I'm just a part of the masses.
