Can't believe this actually happens! - Page 2

I saw this and I just had to post.

I was a Pi Chi at my school this year where we had huge numbers of PNMs.
We had this situation happen as well, and I can tell you, it was no fault of any of the Pi Chis.
After round 3, there were about 15 girls who were supposed to be released from recruitment and had no invites...in 1 group! Something had to be wrong, so as the Pi Chis scrambled to correct the entry mistakes (the computer didn't mess up, fortunately), they were not calling any of those girls.
Turns out, one of them actually was released, and there was no time to call her before she showed up for preferentials.

So a terrible situation for all. It's not like the Pi Chis/Rho Chis/Rho Gammas enjoy making PNMs cry and then taking care of them.

So true!! I agree with everyone else who said let the Greek advisor/Panhellenic know - I would wager she'll receive an apology call (if not more) from the Pi Chi.

Yes, I contacted Greek Life and they are looking into it. I'm not trying to blame anyone or get a pi chi into trouble, I would just like this girl to receive an apology and an explanation. I absolutely know this wasn't done intentionally, but it hurt this girl badly all the same.

And yes, they were to receive a call if they had been dropped from recruitment or didn't receive a bid on bid day. This particular girl is a strong, smart girl and will come out fine, I just don't want this to happen to anyone else.

No doubt this wasn't done intentionally (I hope). It's still a good idea to call Panhellenic and figure out what went wrong so they can prevent it from happening in the future.

I learned something new in this thread. With NPC, you don't want the call. With NPHC, you do want the call. It's the letter in the mail you don't want! What happened to this young lady is unfortunate. You've brought it to the attention of the Greek Life office that more precautions should be taken.
