I was educated on Sorority 'Recruitment' as my niece experienced it at MIZZOU. My involvement happened because I know many sorority ladies & asked for 'recs' on her behalf. I learned 'recs' hold very little weight. First, my biggest complaint is for the girls who received ZERO invites back after the first two days of bonding, excitement, and hope! Money was paid for the 'chance' to become a member of one of the multiple sororities. According to my sources (from many different houses) all the 'recruitees' were vetted & ranked as their applications are submitted - in other words, as one of the largest recruitment classes in a long time, the girls that received 'zero' bids did not stand a chance before they ever crossed a threshold. Isn't that just a way to take/steal the application fee of these girls but more importantly leave a negative & deflated feeling in the spirit of young excited new college students. Second, If you don't know the rules, how can you play the game? The ratings/ranking scales should be made public. On every university/college application these girls knew what the criteria was ahead of time for admission. It may be more acceptable if the recruitment fee was returned to all who received 'zero' bids after the first two days as well as those who received a taste of this process & decided to leave. Finally, sorority life may be wonderful but not at the expense of those sitting in the dorms tonight wondering, "What is wrong with me?"
