final advice for pnms
by: activeI heard PNm's in my classes today talking about where they ranked houses and some of them were nasty about it. They are actives everywhere, so watch what you say! And now ust one piece of final advice for all PNMs tonight- even if you did not get the Bid you wanted, still go to bid night. Give it a chance. For one thing, you should just be grateful that you got a bid in this competitive rush. Second thing, you really won't know what the sorority is like until you meet your pledge class. They can make it awesome for you. Last year at this time i was in your place. I got a bid from a house that I wasn't sure was for me. I went to bid night and over the weeks after I really got to know more of the girls and now i love it.

So true. I got a bid to my last choice house. I thought I was too good for them because I knew I was good looking and social. I was devastated when I got my bid.
However, I wanted to be in a sorority SO BAD. So I gave them a chance. Bid night kind of sucked for me, but I still stuck with it and ended up falling in love my house within the weeks to come. So even if you go to bid night and have a bad time, you might as well stick it out for a little while longer. Go to a few new member meetings. There are probably other girls who are feeling the same way you do. Your future best friend could be a girl who went through literally the same thing. You owe it to yourself to meet her. And wait until you get your big! (That's what solidified it for me)
So even if you want to cry when you get your bid (I did) and you feel awkward and out of place at bid night (I also did), still stick it out for a little while longer. You didn't go through the hell that is sorority recruitment just to drop out for nothing. Try to find a way to be proud of your letters. They represent so much more than you think.
And even if you do end up dropping, please PLEASE don't be a bitter GDI about it. I have nothing against GDI's but it's so annoying when girls and guys are just bitter about the whole Greek system just because they didn't get what they wanted out of it.

this is such good advice! And especially during recruitment this year, is where I got so much closer with all my sisters.

Really good advice! I would also add that if you stick it out, at some point in the future you will suddenly realize you are exactly where you were meant to be and wonder how you didn't see that from the start.

So right about everything! Wherever you got a bid to . .stick with for a few weeks before you even consider dropping. So many girls tonight won't get a bid at all. PLEASE don't think that you are "too good" for any house. There are amazing, sweet, involved women in every single house. Don't be bitter if you don't even try!

Great advice. I always say girls shouldn't drop until they get their big sis. That can be a HUGE game changer for some.
