<strong>Subject:</strong><br />Alpha Phi Recruitment<br /><br /> Poster Message:
The recruitment chairs constantly reminded us that no one gets a score of “zero,” because every girl going through recruitment would fit in on some level. They drilled it into our heads, over and over again, that we were scoring girls on how much they reminded us of our current sisters rather than valuing them on our perceived quality of their individual character. It wasn’t offensive because giving a girl a score of 4/10 wasn’t declaring that she was a 4/10 individual, it was only suggesting that she would get along better with girls in a different chapter of our community. ​ They did tell us, however, to pay close attention to the column of the scorecard that asked which of our current sisters the PNM reminds us of. They told us that if we did not have an answer to this question, it was an effective indicator that Beta Delta was probably not the best place for her. They didn’t have to say it in a way that was more explicit or more vicious than that; they didn’t have to tell us what it meant to be “similar to” or “dissimilar to” our current sisters; they didn’t have to tell us exactly what quantified worth of membership in our undoubtedly yet indistinctly elite community. Whether we admitted it to ourselves or not, we knew.
