sharing recs
by: pnm
When I was at Ole miss, someone told that sororities compare recs between each other to see what other rec writers had to see(for well known pnms, I guess)
This doesn't sound true to me, because so many girls go through rush and I'm sure actives have better things to do with their time.
Is their any truth to this though?

Sadly this is true, but not for the actives!
Alumni advisors are the worst at talking (gossiping) amongst themselves. Alumni advisors all know each other and are members of the Panhellenic alumni association. They regularly communicate with each other. If one sorority had a girl pegged as a favorite, the advisors will let other sororities know they want her. In other words, they will "claim" a girl as theirs.
I see top girls get cut every year from mid tier houses because a top house will "claim" her.
If the alumni are unsure of a girl the active members want, they will ask other alumni from other chapters what they think of a particular girl. Often comparing recs.
There is an entire political underworld circulating behind the scenes! Totally unfair, but nothing anyone can do about it.
It's not unheard of for two alumni from different chapters to compare bid lists to make sure they are not each bidding the same girls in order to maximize their lists in an effort to reach quota with the best girls possible.

Then the PNM will be out of luck. Mid tiers don't like to compete with the top tier. If they think a PNM is likely to chose another sorority, they will very likely drop her.
Xo and Ddd like to play the competition game, but everybody else would rather drop the most sought after girls in favor of other great girls that just lack connections.
Hint: never ever tell anyone which houses you want! If the wrong person hears you, other houses will drop you! I told a kd alumni that I liked Ddd better. I told her Ddd was my #1 and kd was my #2. I realistically could have been swayed either direction. Kd dropped me the next day.
