This is how recruitment works

Some current pnms need to be a bit more humble. You know who you are.

I knew of a girl that went through recruitment who was tall and slim, attractive, perfect grades, and leadership skills. She was dropped from all five groups she ranked. Several rho chis were blown away. It made absolutely no sense. She ended up without a bid.

Please don't think you are an invincible pnm. Liking only one group and stalking them and members on IG is obvious to all groups.

This is also how it works.

Do we know you? Do we like you? If we do, you will move to the top of our "want" list. It's not all fair and I am just going to be honest.

I am also not going to tell you "trust the process" like so many involved people tell you. You can't put your faith in the process and trust it because it is really not fair. I prefer to say you land where you land.

Try to have fun and don't get too set on one group. You also shouldn't settle on a group if you know the fit is not there. You know you best.

I took this advice and did not settle on one group. I was open to probably four groups. No one invited me back. Not one group thought enough of me in 20 minutes to invite me for a Day 2? I would be settling to go back to my bottom two. If anyone else is sad about your Day 1 just know you are not alone.

I was dumped. What a way to start my first year in college. I had my alternates, but those were not a great fit judging from the first day. I was open to all the others. Rho Gamma told me to give them a chance, but I told her the other five did not give me a chance.
