But I'm SOOOOO sorry that you're too pretty to be a RhoGam. It must suck to be you.

our system sucks. all the "less attractive" pnms have to stand in the hallway or the back porch when the good ones get to sit down in the living rooms.some days during rush i wish i was busted so i could work in the kitchen you know?? i dont know sorry for rambling.

Like others have said, be firm. Explain why you wanted the position and why it is important. They may try to guilt trip you, but can they really force you to resign if this is what you want?

i told my big i did it because we are not that close and i thought we could bond over the situation and at least something good could come of this. she just got mad and said i shouldnt have done it and that she was so embarrassed. im sorry, but i messed up you know???
but she said she wouldnt tell exec but that i had to so i guess i will soon.

i know they are going to make me talk about stupid stuff and when i give a girl a 10 no one will care because i always give girls 10s but its because i get all the good ones.

what is an easy let down? i want to keep my spot i would even tell girls what the best houses are. i dont want them to be clueless you know?? ill be a good rho gamma. i just dont want them to make me quit. sorry i know no one can really help me because i did it to myself. its just so unfair. i hate rush.

First, sorry, but this really bothered me. You mean as a rho gamma you would "tell them what the best house is"? That is the absolute OPPOSITE of what you are to do. You are to be NEUTRAL in all matters concerning recruitment. You are NOT to give unfair advantages by giving your opinion, which these girls will take as the word of god because they know no better, even if it's to chapters other than your own. A GOOD Rho Gamma will remain neutral no matter how hard it is.

The best Rho Gamma's chose to be a recruitment counselor because they had a true desire to BE THERE for the new PNM's. Naturally, most that choose to apply for the job aren't there for that reason. Honestly, that was only one of mine, and I had several. But you have to be able to handle following the rules even harder than your sisters who are on the other side of recruitment are. You have to be able to handle NOT talking to them. You have to be able to handle being COMPLETELY neutral, no matter how badly you do or do not want a girl. You HAVE to understand Panhellenic spirit.

Not every Rho Gamma is going to want to do all of those things, and some won't even try. The best ones at least make a GENUINE effort to do all of that. And no, it isn't easy. I hate recruitment too...I truly do. But I can't say that being on call for PNM's, being disaffiliated, having to set an example by following all of the rules (everyone should try, but a sorority girl making an honest mistake and a rho gamma making an honest mistake are two different matters), remaining neutral, having to talk to girls who got dropped, and staying cheerful ALL of the time (at least when you're setting up for recruitment each night you get to let off some steam and be an ogre) was any easier. You're going to find that it's not an easy break.

If you still want to do it and think you can REALLY be a good rho gamma then I suggest you talk to your Exec NOW. I doubt they will be very happy with you, but I also doubt that they will remove you from the position unless there are rules against non-approved candidates applying for the position.

after talking to my big and after seeing some of your responses i think i decided i will tell my exec ASAP. i think i might even resign the rg spot myself. after what you wrote i realized that im not sure if i could help these new girls. how could i let them join the worst house on campus without knowing??
plus if i resign i think there would be less drama and maybe they wouldnt even tell the whole sorority and have everyone hate me. ugh but that means talking to the ditzes on group one about hair products.
i will learn to take a fall for the team and let you all know how it turns out. obviously i wont really tell them i do coke because i dont but i will put my best foot forward.
sorry about some of my posts. i know you cannot help me but i needed to vent because its the week before well you girls know how it is. i will call my vp tomorrow!! thanks for the advice!!

What you might consider the worst just might be "home" for others.

But yes, with that kind of thinking, please do your Panhellenic community a favor and resign.

(But I still don't believe you're legit)
