There are several considerations in this- one is that there have been repeated posts steering PNMs into thinking that they should not want to join certain houses if they are from the North, because those houses will make them feel like an outsider. Two is that the girls from the South do not “want to join” the houses that “typically take the Northern PNMs”. The original poster is simply saying that there is now competition across the board, regardless of a PNM’s zip code. Over time, it has become this way and that for any house to really thrive, it has to adapt to the changes. There are other things happening right now- that were mentioned. Legacy policies have been changed by most of the Panhellenic national organizations. I’m sure this is a bit of a shock, especially to Moms of Southern girls who thought that their daughters would have multiple legacies and have some sort of “in” to the desired houses. This has changed, and it changed very recently. Second is that letters of recommendation no longer are as important as they used to be and can’t actually keep certain candidates out anymore, if they don’t have them. Again this benefitted Southern PNMs more than Northern- where this practice is not nearly as established. So what is left? How about go on GreekRank and tell northern candidates that they won’t be wanted in Old Row at all. Tell them they won’t fit in, they won’t be happy. Tell them how great the other houses would be for them. This is all the Mothers and Alums. It’s not how the execs in the houses see things. It’s not how the student see things either. Trust me, Old Row is going to be competing for the top girls regardless of if they are North, South, their race, and any other factor. All of this is being posted by Moms with too much time on their hands, freaking out because they realize they no longer have control over who goes where. Don’t worry about it. Follow your heart.
