pnm feedback

Snowflakes

Lol - Your "snowflakes" comment is a perfect example of the kind of shallow individuals who ruin this. I can't wait until you show that kind of behavior in a future job. I have no doubt there are probably some really fabulous girls in sororities but you will never know that from this process, nor will you ever know anything about the girls who desire to do it. I'm also disappointed that a great girl, looking for a terrific group of individuals to share 4 years with and participate in some great philanthropy, will not easily be found through this process.
You asked the question....

@raidermom, curious did your daughter not receive a bid at all or just not her preferred house?
As an outsider looking in based on your comments, you sound as though she is somehow entitled to a bid & the process failed her. The system should not change because for whatever reason your daughter didn't seem to be a good fit for the existing houses or she didn't get s bid to her preferred house.
That attitude will get you cut pretty quick at all the houses.
I would like to suggest the Christian sororitys on campus.
They are great groups and I believe no cut.
There are also a lot of other great clubs here.
Sorry your hurt for your daughter, but lashing out on the system as a whole is really misguided and mean.

No lashing out....I responded to the request for feedback by the first post...if you only want snowflake answers, don't ask for feedback.

So back to the question, no bid or no bid to preferred house(s)?
No bid at all is pretty rare.

The request for feedback was for the pnms not overprotective helicopter moms. Recruitment is what it is. And has been for 100 years.

Okay so are you going to lash out when your daughter goes to a job fair and doesn't get a job anywhere? I mean she is at least 18, sorry but it's time to grow up... the world can be cruel. Sorry.

Well said. I agree totally

"Bid promising" is a big no in the world of Panhellenic. Even saying things like "were so glad you're back" or "we hope to see you tomorrow" can be seen as bid promising and could get a house fined. So it's really hard to find that balance of trying to be open and welcoming, but also not making seem like you're promising anything. Go through the other side of recruitment and you'll understand how difficult that can be at times. If you were bid promised or lead on in a way and really upset about it, you can talk to panhellenic & they'll do something about it.
Also, like someone said in an earlier post, the girl(s) you talked to might've LOVED you, and because of other things (grades, legacy status, personal connections inside the house, etc) that she may not have even known about, it just wasn't the right place for you.
I'm sorry you didn't get the bid you were hoping for, but congrats on getting a bid! Your new sisters are so excited to have you! Welcome to being a Greek at Texas Tech, you're gonna love it!

No need to be mean! She's hurting because she thought her daughter should have been in a top house. It happens.

Momma never said she didn't get bid to top house or bid at all.
She Is just stomping her feet & holding her breathe cause princess didn't get what she wanted, whatever that was.
And if it was due to not getting in a perceived top house, her loss.
The so called mid tier houses killed it this recruitment!
And so called bottom here would be tops anywhere else.
Greek life dodged a problem with this one.
