Does anyone know how SDT did on open house round and the rest of the week so far. I heard they are more active in formal recruitment this year.

Yay, DG Illinois, and thank you for sending sponsor forms!
I'd love to know what's going on, too...but everything's locked down until bid day.

FWIK, they only participated in the open house (first) rounds, from a room in the stadium, which is right on Colonial Dr. and sorority row.
Apparently they are still there, open to any PNMs who have an "off" time period and want a cool place to rest.

It's great they are involved this year. I wonder what kind of impression they made on pnms

Oh thanks so much! I have to say my girls really did their homework and the packets they sent me were stunning! Seriously monogrammed and colored paper, beautiful pictures etc., they were unbelievable. I wish I knew how they were doing. I would love to be down there...after reading GC I would love to see a SEC recruitment first hand. The alums that help with it are amazing!

My last minute pnm has 4 invites for the next round and got dropped by all but one of her favorites. She is thinking about quitting, but I'm encouraging her to stick with it. Note to future pnms -please prepare for recruitment and get those recs!

Four invites is just fine - in the end, it all comes down to ONE anyway.
Yes, do encourage her to stick with it another go-round at least. Feelings, opinions etc. change daily - heck, even hourly!

So cuts have been pretty hard on everyone here. I know personally I've been disappointed everyday, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. I have two new favorites, but I'm very worried I will be dropped as well as a lot of girls in my Rho Chi group. Are cuts the worst after skit? I heard someone say that, but I don't know if it's reliable information. Wouldn't it be more of pnms dropping houses since we have to pick only three? I'm confused how rfm handles this.

Aphigal · #10 08-15-2013, 12:48 PM

It's mutual selection so you as a pnm are ranking houses and chapters are given a set number of invites that they can hand out in each round. RFM tries to give each pnm a full party card although for various reasons that doesn't happen. I would say if you get a full pref card invite you are doing awesome!
I know it sounds lame but it only take ONE house. It's like the Bachelorette...25 guys to date but only one in the end. It will work out hang in there you are tired and stressed.

Great analogy Aphigal!

And for all you know, at the end of the week you WILL get a rose

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Or a carnation, pansy... but there are always flowers at the other end of the rainbow!

I have 5 rec girls going thru this year. Talked to one of the Mom's yesterday her daughter had 8 parties for this round and was happy, (some of her favorites cut her earlier but she has new favorites.
Her roommate is had either 6 or 7 but had lost her two favorites. (she was shopping for new favorites yesterday and today lol)
Third was down to 5 but happy with her list.

The others I haven't heard from yet, one is a stellar girl so I think she is probably having a good recruitment. The other is quiet and a little shy so hoping the best for her...
