recruitment horror stories?
by: Need a laughNo matter if you were a PNM or active member, what are some horror stories you might have? Worst thing someone said to an active member during recruitment? Something a PNM accidentally said, did, or heard during recruitment? Anything along those lines.
#1 by: hoping
I'm hoping that this doesn't turn into a way to blast sororities. It's going to be much classier to leave the name of the house off and just write ABC or XYZ. If someone does blast a house, you can be pretty sure it's a good house that competes with the house the hater is in.
Comment#2 by: Pref
I already knew which house I wanted because certain girls from my school were in that house. During pref they were already sure I was going to be in their house (probably had no basis, but that's how they acted). Anyway instead of talking about what they were supposed to they were kind of gossiping about another girl in the house they felt sorry for because she was poor and she was dating a house boy who must also be poor too. It really turned me off and I chose the other house I had as my top house after pref even though going into the night I'd been sure I was going with the house I'd always wanted. I hadn't paid too much attention to my other house so it was sort of random but I've completely loved it and can't imagine being anywhere else. I'm so glad my hs friends showed their true colors before I committed.

I had a house tell me they’d see me on bid day and they cut me. This particular house is known for doing that. And it was a huge blessing because I would have hated that house because they are known for being super cliquey. So pay attention to what is said to you and know if they are making promises to not trust that...they can’t promise anything and shouldn’t.

Did you know the house was known for that before going into recruitment or were you blind sided by it? So sorry that happened :(

I had the same thing happen to me on pref night. I ended up being OK with the house I got but I probably ruined Bid Day for my pledge class and the house I got because I couldn’t stop crying. The girls who promised me a bid were friends (I thought) and I just felt like not only wasn’t I good enough for a “top” house but also that I thought these girls were my friends and they lied to me. PNMs: try to be happy that you got a bid at all. If you are not able to be happy with whoever you have on pref night don’t go to the house you don’t want. And if for whatever reason you don’t think you can be happy once you get your bid, fake it for an hour then go back to your dorm and cry there- don’t ruin everyone else’s good time

No I didn’t know that but learned after that they did it to others.
I’m totally happy with where I ended up. I would have been miserable in the other house. They have a reputation for being cliquey and I know girls who hate it. I LOVE my house...it’s not what everyone considers top tier (prob top of the middle tier) BUT my PC is full of girls who went to a top tier on pref and didn’t quite make the bid list so they’re all awesome. I LOVE it and am so happy where I am. Very genuine girls and inclusive so to me it makes us top tier and what I would have wanted had I known what I know now going into recruitment.
So saying this to PNM’s....be careful to rule out the good mid tier houses because they’re awesome!!!

All members are carefully trained what they can and cannot say. They know they don't individually determine who is invited back that they're just one girl in a house of 350. So she probably said "I hope to see you on bid day," which is totally fine. She probably did hope that. But you were nervous and took it as a bid promise. That's okay for you -- you were just a pnm and didn't know better. You may have even thought that one girl spoke for an entire house and that's perfectly reasonable because you had never been around this system before. But believe me, you probably just misheard her.

During recruitment I had a “top house” and a “bottom house” and sadly my mentality at that time was to be at the top. The top house every round had me talk to several girls and even their president so I felt that I was guaranteed a bid. On the last round I was cut from the “top house” and I cried so much because I liked both houses I had but I cared more about the “rankings” at that time. I ended up running back to the other house I had and for a month I tried to convince myself that it wasn’t for me bc I was “too good to be in a bottom house”. Luckily, my mentality changed and the house I ended up in made me super happy to be in. The “top house” I had ended up having a lot of issues and on campus incidents. To this day I’m so thankful for my house and the fact that the other house cut me. In my eyes they’re better than being in a top house

It was a blessing to me but I didn’t know it at the time. My house is so genuine and inclusive and I have loved it so much. My friends who ended up getting caught up in name fake being happy but hate it. PNM’s...be careful to not be fooled by the fakeness of houses. Some houses resemble HS and it’s a lot of Queen B’s all together and boy does it suck for many of the girls.

What houses tend to have more genuine girls?
What houses tend to have more cliquey girls?

Thanks for bringing this point up!! I do not want this post to cause blasting or drama !! Please keep frats/sororities anonymous. There is no need to mention the house. Just want some laughs from funny stories and I know other people wouldn’t mind a laugh either :). Always remember: PAN LOVE <3
