zta

I meant to say I was promised a BID, not big!

I've heard the same thing. My suitemate had is happen to her. She was so convinced she'd be a ZTA (since they told her she was getting a bid) that she went online and ordered all this Zeta stuff after preffing there. She wound up in Kappa and wasn't happy AT ALL...but now it's getting better.

Definitely report if you have proof.

You're in a house where the girls have integrity. What would someone with integrity do in this situation? I don't know about you, but I was raised to believe my word was a reflection of who I was. Will you be able to live with yourself knowing that this happened and you opted to do nothing about it? Covering for someone is aiding them to do this again, and some say is as bad as doing it yourself. This isn't middle school; playing "dirty" has no place in high school, let alone in college — or in the working world once you graduate. Will you sit back and watch a colleague steal from the company you work for once you graduate without saying anything? Because that's what Zeta did that night; they stole the honor of the system from you and every girl that preffed that night.

I am a Junior, and two years ago Zeta dirty rushed me. I dropped out and never rushed again. I feel like I was robbed of a Greek experience in my college career and you can't ever get that back. I for one would LOVE for them to get punished for this, and have sanctions taken against them. Maybe their Nationals would be interested in knowing how this Chapter has been operating. I know all of this is anonymous but I'd be more than happy to sign my name to a statement if one is ever brought forth. I'll keep my eye on the DTH for any news.

Scary stuff

I personally know at least 5-10 girls in the last year or 2 who have been blatantly bid promised by them. It's a problem that is only really going to stop if people speak up.

Absolutely stand up and tell Panhellenic. It's obvious from the comments that this is a continuing problem that needs to be addressed

The exact same thing happened to me last year, and it devastated me -- not because I didn't get zeta, but because they seemed so genuine and I truly believed that they wanted me. Please take action against this chapter, the way they go about recruitment is unacceptable. You and I are not the only ones who were promised bids by zeta, but hopefully we can be some of the last.

I heard back from my Gamma Chi, and she said the same thing that you all have said. She offered to go with me to meet with the VP of Standards - she oversees the Panhellenic Judicial Board. I'll keep y'all posted!
