Are you a Greek life advisor?
My work is broader than that, but it's one of many facets where I try to help my students.

So, if she got GHI, that means that she wasn't high enough on ABC or DEF? If she would have written off GHI completely and just wrote ABC or DEF, does that mean she would have gone bidless?

If you are agreeing that my initial belief was right and she would have gone bidless, then I think I am much better at this than I thought and I did not give her the wrong information. Also, with this same scenario, she really liked DEF better than ABC but, she let the tent talk get to her and ranked the more popular ABC as her number 1 and DEF as her number 2. If she would have ranked it like this:

(1.) DEF (less popular than ABC)
(2.) ABC
(3.) GHI
then what? Would she have gotten DEF or still go to GHI?

(or)

(1.) DEF (less popular than ABC)
(2.) ABC
(3.) --------
and completely dropped GHI, would she have gotten DEF?


She got GHI. I was bummed she got dropped from my organization but, I have told her to stick it out because GHI obviously wanted her and she should be thankful. I'm just trying to understand the logistics of it because if I can go back and say, "See, either way you would have gotten GHI or nothing so be thankful" I feel like she may be more open-minded to staying.


Thanks for your input.

This is the issue. If you have the low man on the totum pole on your list, you are likely to become a member of that group unless everyone on campus gets quota every year including this group and still take QAs and this group is still the low man. Most likely, though, you aren't going to be a QA.

Her advice seems relevant. I hope so. So, from my post after the responses, I was right--right? I just want to see this young woman make the best of a situation because I am not one to sit there and here people "boo hoo" because they didn't get their number 1 choice. Nope, I am not that person to dry your eyes.

That is so neat! I wish there was a college near me that had a higher ed. masters program. Are you a Greek life advisor?
