is that a subtle hint to send one in your direction ? I have a variety to select from...

Maybe I am missing something about the OP.... but I can't help thinking about another story, a few years ago, featuring sequin pantyhose......

Wow, my first day back on GC in a while and I get this? What a present! I feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

My feeling is: Forget the OP. She may/may not be a troll. But I suspect that more than one pnm has felt that there was a mistake in the bid that they received, or an invitation to a round NOT received. And that should/could be addressed.

There may be cases, one in 10,000, where a computer input (I hope that I am using the correct words here.) is wrong. But I suspect that this is caught before damage is done. I KNOW that when my D went through last year every round bid distribution of invitations were late because Panhellenic received invitations late, bid lists late and/or were checking results again.

Why? Probably because EVEYONE was checking/rechecking for accuracy.

So many women (and moms) who post recruitment stories say, "I had the BEST time at Alpha Alpha Poop Poop!!! And then they dropped me! They even said, "I'll see you tomorrow!!!" What gives?"

Please move on. Recruitment is like that. Surprises, good and bad happen. If you take it so seriously that you don't sleep, cry for weeks, and constantly replay what happened PLEASE go to the Student Health Center. (I am assuming that the Rho Chi talked with you at length. I am assuming that you talked with your floormates/roommates/mom/aunts first. But if the depression, anxiety, or really "off" feelings persist: talk to a professional.

And the truth is we tell everyone at pref how much we want them. Because we do. They wouldn't be at pref if we didn't think they'd be a good member. The point of pref is to seal the deal and make all of those pnms want you. The only problem is that we want some girls more than others and if they want us as much, then another girl isn't going to get a bid from us.

Basically this. Not getting the bid after pref doesn't mean we hate you, it doesn't mean we lied to you, it (almost certainly) means that we hit quota before matching got to you on our list.

(The more I think about it, the more I think we did submit our list before pref on our campus.)

Well said. Face to face communication is a heck of a lot better than attempts at message board therapy anyhow!

Lordy.

UGHHHHH. Did you all really make me just create another GC identity so I can comment on this annonomously?
Some of you need to CALM DOWN. You are the reason why we rarely have PNMs starting threads about recruitment or whatever anymore-
you are, to put it simply, assholes to girls like the OP alllllll the time. Stop spending your time "investigating" other posters
or tearing apart their posts for errors in an attempt to discredit them, it's crazy! Specifically, I don't actually think the OP was a troll
but she WAS coming here for advice. There are a core few of you who routinely get into it with new posters, you know who you are.
I'm going to break it down for that core group right now-the majority of you received COR BIDS!!!!! (Yes, the rest of us are capable of trackbacks too)
You really have NO place belittling someone who actually went through a very tough formal rush(TWICE!!) at a competitive school.
I could argue that you didn't even have the "traditional" GLO experience. I want to keep posting on the site under my normal
profile and keep encouraging and welcoming PNMs, but you are making it impossible to do so with pride. Please, for the sake
of GC, lay off of these posters. It hurts my heart to read Katie's posts, because she's right about that lack of sisterhood.
Most of you know and like me, so please, spare me the troll/flounce/ crap.

You do realize that nobody is going to take this seriously right? If you truly feel this strongly about it, use your regular handle, or be prepared to be taken as a joke.
