getting released is a gift
by: Truth
To PNMs. It may be hard but getting released from a house early is a gift. It allows you to spend your energy learning about and loving the house that will become your home. You will only get to choose from between three houses in the end so the sooner that the wrong houses are off of your card the better for really giving the others a chance. Those with full cards will spend the week in another blur of parties and it becomes very confusing. No matter how many parties they go to, fifteen of those houses will be gone by pref. Many that they fell in love with and carried for several rounds. It gets harder after you have spent more time falling in love with the houses. Open house rounds will be a blur of blind dates. You may have stalked us on social media but you don't know us and we don't know you. It really is us, not you. As in we had to make drastic cuts, and it was not personal. We have to let great ones get away but we also love our panhellenic sisters and know you will find an awesome fit somewhere else. It didn't work out and you move along before you have fallen hard. That is a gift.
Concentrate on the houses that wanted to get to know you more. In the end everyone can only open a bid from one. The sooner you are focused on finding the "One" instead of playing the field, the better rush becomes and you will end up in a much better matched house where you will love.

Bump. This will be so helpful for PNMs to know during recruitment when they’re discouraged. Sometimes it is personal if you’re a horrible PNM, but most likely, houses just thought you were a better fit in another house. It’s not the end of the world if one of your favorite houses drop you, you will make friends in the house you’re in and can still be friends with girls in other houses

This is really helpful to new PNM's because most of the time when you're released it is nothing personal and everyone thought you were really nice its just that they want you to be in the house where you would fit in most and have the best time/make friends that you will really hit it off with, (and they know their house better than you do) so if you get dropped from a house you loved, don't worry because you might end up loving a different house you may not have considered! Trust the process and trust that everyone has a house where they will find girls that they will be friends with for the rest of their lives.

If a house drops you, then you weren't going to be happy there, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR FANTASY MAY HAVE BEEN.
It hurts if you put any energy into imagining yourself somewhere, but you have to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and be open to connecting with the women who did see potential sisterhood with you.
It's going to be OK :)

By “horrible PNM” meaning if your grades are horrible like 2.5 or below, you’re a reputation risk, really awkward, etc
