Sad recruitment story

[Carpe Aeternum]

I'm almost positive I know where your daughter goes to school. If so, recruitment registration was record high and many, many girls dropped out during the process. There were a lot of tears, a lot of major disappointments, and a lot of hurt around the campus, starting the night of the first cuts and continuing through to bid day. Your daughter might feel alone- but she is definitely not. If she needs support from her peers, she should be able to inquire around and get it. From what I understand- and from what I saw firsthand- those on the other side of recruitment were not prepared for what the PNMs faced because of the scale of rush this year.

Last fall, five houses "participated" in informal but only two invited everyone who signed up to their first events. The other three offered a few bids to friends of those in the chapters.

and maybe it wasn't anything against her specifically, they just liked someone else MORE

I'm kindof upset that no one noticed my use of "rejectment."

This one is a good one for PNMs and their moms to read before recruitment so they can be forewarned that not every recruitment is all rosy.
