There were many people who did drop during 21 party alone, and many people who dropped right after. I, personally, loved every second of it and will be continuing.
I know the process here isn't ideal, but I am going to try to keep an open-mind about it! Regardless, I am doing this for the experience, and I know there are other places on this enormous campus where I can be happy.
And, to the members who said I would be happy at multiple chapters: Even after just visiting 21 party, I completely echo this sentiment. There are MANY girls in each chapter, and they are all different (yet bound together) in an intricate manner. I would be honored to be a part of any chapter here!

I just realized that what I posted sounded REALLY cheesy. I just meant that there are great people in each house, and each house has a great combination of amazing girls that I would love to get to know better

Brighteyed girl, you don't sound cheesy, you sound like you are enjoying the process and keeping an open mind = ideal attitude for any PNM.

that is what I was told- a hard copy PAPER invite list. The also do it online using Panhel's system, so I'm not sure why they want a paper copy, but they do! We also do this with the final bid list- we put it in the system, then print out a paper copy and drive it over to the Union to the panhel/greek life office.
I don't spend much/any time with the PNMs to know exactly why they dropped during 21 party, however this year my niece has a few friends going though, and I know one of them dropped when the realized that their grades were good enough for the panhel minimum, but that they were below most of the chapter minimums.
Also, this year's trend-- brown boots over the jeans. (last year Toms were quite popular).

Maybe so nothing can be claimed as a "computer glitch"?
PNM: "Oh XYZ must have dropped me because of a computer glitch, I'll just be horrible to the other chapters so I can get a snap bid later"
or, Member to Friend PNM: "Oh my gosh, Patty PNM, we totally invited you/your friend (package deal) back but the computer messed up our list!"

I'm a little late to the party (and I've been absent on these boards for awhile) but I just wanted to say good luck to brighteyedgirl! I can't believe this is my first year NOT participating in IU recruitment! If you have any questions about the process, feel free to PM me. I was a Rho Gamma and recruitment chair for my chapter so I have a lot of insight into the logistics.
As for the paper copies, I think it is just as GeorgiaGreek said. I know when I was a Rho Gamma we had to have THREE paper copies of the PNMs preference lists for each round (one for me, PHA, and the PNM) and also input them into the computer system. When in doubt, CYA.
ForeverRoses--brown boots over jeans is the trend for chapters or PNMs?

I thought boots over jeans was a pretty classic look? I never considered it a trend waiting to die. Now cowboy boots, those can die unless you are actually on a ranch/riding a horse/in Texas/all of the above.

And in cold climes, boots are a practical and safe (literally; they can help minimize the instances of falling on your arse) option for adding some style to your winter wardrobe. This is not boots tucked into jeans in Miami or LA, which to me makes it ok. Now high heeled stiletto knee high boots make absolutely no sense to me. But then I have a thing about high heels of any kind with jeans. I just think it looks goofy, mismatched.

This was pretty standard for the PNMs. I didn't see what other houses were wearing, so I don't know if any of them were doing this as well. But I would say 1/3-1/2 of all the PNMs I saw were sporting this look. Saw lots of Toms shoes as well.

"In Tennessee" should also be added to that list

Hahaha, Hypo's Christmas list? Toms and brown boots. Apparently the same footwear is trending at Barnard.

Brown boots must be taking over the world. Last weekend I was on Michigan Avenue and saw a plethora of black leggings with brown boots. I am not a huge fan of mixing black and brown unless there is an accessory with both color in it.
Here is a photo from the IDS:

And an opinion column criticizing the PHA choice of weekends:

I guess you have two choices during rush, either sweating to death or freezing to death!
Why do they split it up between semesters? I think having first round right before finals would be very stressful and horrible to worry about over the break! If it was all in the second semester then you would have the grades in and everyone would know if they'd be a grade cut.

To conduct our recruitment with 21 parties prior to classes starting in January, it would mean that some parties would have to take place in December. I think there would be a mass revolt of sorority women if they had to come back before New Year's and spend NYE on campus with no dates. It was bad enough the year we had to report during the evening of Jan. 1.
