I understand Cal's Fall 2016 PNMs feel they were sometimes treated in a not-too-friendly manner by sorority members at Cal's houses. PNMs need to know some of the sorority women they meet are rushing, as initiated members, for the very first time and they are just as nervous and scared of the process. As to wonderful young PNM women having bad tastes in their mouths due to a lousy rush experience, bid day recruitment results can happen when a PNM chooses to overlook her mistreatment and ONLY look at the houses that want her and treat her with respect! Griping PNMs say top houses make PNMs feel unwanted due to the large number of PNMs not being invited to specific formal parties. You need to know the top sororities are required by National Panhellenic Conference recruitment rules to disinvite the largest percentage of PNMs from their formal parties due to the fact they are very popular PNM choices when ranked throughout rush. That rule was formulated and agreed upon at the national level by all 26 national sorority groups. While it is unfortunate some PNMs are dissatisfied with the official way recruitment invitations work, they must accept it so the top 4-5 Cal houses don't have 100 pledges each while less popular homes acquire 25-30 pledges each during the same rush period.
