PNMs - please be respectful
by: Hi!!!!!
PNMs, please be respectful when attending parties even if you don't think you are interested in the house. You never know and you just might change your mind. Actives are up by 5-6am, starting parties as early as 7:30 and not finishing for the day until 8 or 9pm or who knows when this year with so many pnms!- then doing it again the next day, and the next, etc. Where you only have a few parties a day and then get to go back to your room and relax, we don't get to do that. So please be nice. We're all tired and doing our very best to be welcoming and get to know everyone who walks through our door. Also, a lot of the girls you will speaking to were in your shoes just last year. They'll be just as nervous as you are!! Don't judge the whole house off of one person you speak to, they just may be overly nervous - or overly exhausted. We also had work week the week prior so we're already tired by the first party. Have patience and understanding with us as we are trying our best.
Also, please be respectful to your gamma chi! They are having very long, hard days as well. It can be very emotional for them, especially if they hear pnms speaking badly about their house. It happens, they know it will happen, but it still is hard to hear. Just because you've convinced yourself you know what house she is in, don't be so sure. My group just knew our gamma chi was ADPI my rush year and she turned out to be a Pi Phi! You just never know. They'll probably have pretty large groups this year with so many pnms. They are responsible for keeping up with you, your schedule, making sure you are at all of your parties - because if you're not, you get dropped out of recruitment. They also will be your support system, your shoulder to cry on, and if you get cut by all houses for some reason, they have to break the news to you. It's a very emotional process for them as well.

Yes! Girls that don’t go here already just assume girls are only friends with others in their sorority. Zetas live with pi phi’s.
Kappas live with AXOs.
KDs live with ADPis.
Tri Delts live with Kappas.
Point is….girls will talk when they wrap up for the evenings…
Be respectful!!!

do houses know if a PNM "Dropped" them? I know we don't really drop, but if for instance on night one when I have no clue who to rank in the last three spots I put XYZ and they end up back on my party list are they going to know I put them at the bottom?

Funny story, so last year during pref I had a pnm tell me how her roommate had been bashing my house all week. But then came pref and she said she was going to settle since the roommate loved us and would probably end up here. Long story short, got her name, she suicided with only us to be with her friend, we cut her. Don’t bash houses to anyone. You never know where the info will go.

Yes, and same goes for praising a house all week. Word will get around to your other good choices and they will cut you if they think your mind's made up. Just keep your mouth shut and be positive but neutral!

Tagging onto that, if you think adopting an attitude that will get yourself intentionally dropped from a house you don't think you want then you need to think again. 1) It does NOTHING to get you invited back to the houses you think you want; 2) it might get you cut from those houses because word will get around quickly; we do talk and room with girls in different sororities.
