But they are an improvement over the teal mullet dress: ' I am sooooo sorry, but I just didn't have time to change between the Little Mermaid Skit and Pref!"

I'm dying at y'all calling it a mullet dress, because I've never heard that term before but it is so apt. I think the official term is a high-low dress, but now mullet dress is all I'll think of.

If I can find a picture of the dress I wore online I'll post it. I thought it looked good.

I, as a PNM, has constantly been told that the about 75% Bid List are predetermined. I have also heard that alumni make the final decision about who actually gets bids on bid day. I have a pretty good resume, good GPA and ACT, and I live within about an hour of campus. I know just a few girls in every sorority, but I'm not overly close with any of them. I have no preferences as my mother nor grandmother were not in sororities. I am just wondering if my chances are shot at a good sorority because I did not attend spring parties, but many other girls my age did.

They are ALL good sororities.

The best advice you will receive about recruitment is to dramatically change your way of thinking. It is an honor to get a bid to any of them, and if you go into recruitment only thinking that certain ones are good enough for you then the chances of you winding up not Greek increase exponentially.

The sororities can't have their bid list already made because they have no idea if you, or Patty PNM, or Suzy Sororitywannabe, etc., will come back to their next round of parties, much less to one of their pref. parties.

It would be a good idea to NOT listen to rumors or tent talk. Give all the sororities a chance, and try to determine which sorority would be the best fit for you as you are now, not as someone you one day hope to be.

Also, while ABC, DEF, and GHI might all want Super Suzy after pref, she's only getting one bid. When she matches, the other groups have to adjust.

And this year you only attend 2 parties for pref! So talk about a game changer!

thank you all so much. my mind is very open; I do understand that a bid is an honor from any place, but the rudeness is not needed. I wasn't particularly pointing out any sorority at all.

You're the one who stated "a good sorority." All we're telling is that they are ALL good sororities. We will not bash any group here at Greek Chat. If you are looking for that, you need to go elsewhere. We are a Panhellenic group and we treat our Panhellenic sisters with respect.

Oh I fully understand that. Your response just made me feel that you were under the impression I was biast to a sorority. all I am saying is most girls going through this year do not have the new sorority as their #1 choice.

And now you've gone and named names.
