Dear pnms:

You are right.. recruitment sucks and is superficial. It's not a perfect process. But it's the process we use, and (as I'm sure you've been told) it tends to work out surprisingly well for girls who stick through it. Just like they won't know everything wonderful about you, you might misjudge them. Seriously. So if you get a bid, take it, even if it's not what you wanted. I know so many girls who went through recruitment as freshman and dropped bc they didn't get what they wanted. They went through again as sophomores, got matched with the same sororities, and actually gave them a chance. I've talked to them about it and their only regret is that they didn't join when they had the chance as freshman.

So please please please, those of you who haven't dropped yet, don't... you only have one more day. Accept a bid if you get one. If it is from your top choice, congrats! If it isn't... give the sorority 2 weeks and keep an open mind. if you can't find 3 girls that you connect with, fine, then drop. But you might be surprised by how much you like a sorority in real life (you know, not in a super awkward/superficial/hot+noisy setting). In 6 months, you won't regret spending an extra 2 weeks getting to know a sorority, but you very well may regret giving up the chance to do so.
