I understand what you're saying, uk2011, but please wait and see what it's like on the other side. You're right, you can have an opinion and you are the only one who met those girls, but you also only have half of the perspective having been on one side of Recruitment.

Thank you, and I promise, I understand there are two sides. Although after this whole drama, I'm starting to wonder if I can handle this sort of thing on a day to day basis.

I really had no intention of starting a major argument over a handful of girls I felt like were misleading. I only meant to say that you never know what happens when the doors are closed, and just because you thought they really liked you, doesn't mean you'll get asked back.

Agreed. And, don't feel special, name calling is a source of entertainment for me. I do it constantly, without discrimination.

We're not trying to be bitches. We just know how it is on the other side.

Seriously?

I'm not trying to say what it's like from the other side. Not at all. I'm still not even sure what you took such offense to.

Seriously? Yes. Seriously.

I wasn't offended. (It takes a lot more to offend me...) I was trying to get you to see that the girls probably meant what they said. I think ALL of us have meant that and lost one of our "Rush crushes". I hope they didn't think me fake because they were not voted through.

Also, even if an active "doesn't think you have a shot" she's not going to be rude (well, most of the time). As a chapter, you want PNMs to leave your house with a pleasant taste in their mouths at the very least. Like I said, you'll see once you recruit for your chapter. It is normal to have the feelings you had, but we were offering another take on the "fakeness" you felt based on the fact that we've had more experience in this area than you.

Oh, I realize that. And let me repeat that I am not trying to disagree with you. This was my experience. Did any of you have a perfect Recruitment experience when you went through?

Yes! I did actually. I loved everything about it. I feel sorry for the people who didn't get their top choice. But I suicided. I didn't really care what people thought about my letters. I was proud to wear them from day one and still am.

You're one of the few I've ever talked to that didn't get cut from even one sorority they liked throughout the week. I got my top choice on bid day, but we've established that I had a couple of disappointments during the week. Did you go to a big or small school? (I promise, I don't mean that in a mean way, or snarky, or whatever the word is!)

I know, I wasn't arguing with you. I was trying to explain in the nicest way possible, because I knew your experience is only from the PNM side.

Nope, mine wasn't perfect. Read my retro thread.

Lol, after dealing with all of this, I'm not sure I want to even go through with a sorority, if this is what it's like! Thank you for actually taking the time to explain your point in a nice way.

Man, I step away for a couple hours and this thread blew up! I hate when I miss all the fun!

But I really just stopped in to say Tippie, I noticed your location a while ago and have meant to say something about it because it's genius, and I will happily take John Cusack off your hands kthxbye.

uk2011, time to start your own thread if you have a beef. This thread is about someone else and you don't need to be hijacking it with whatever your beef is- since quite frankly I don't get it.

The thing is, she got a bid to Kappa Delta.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
