<strong>Subject:</strong><br />the truth about connections<br /><br /> Poster Message:
We stress the importance of connections, but I don't think most PNM's fully understand! There are two different types of connections: 1). You have a good friend or relative in the house. They will invite you to visit, introduce you to all of their friends, promote you during rush workshops, and perhaps most importantly go to bat for you with the rush team and advisors. She will know the importance of securing a rec from a chapter alumn and even go so far as to help you secure one. All her friends will Facebook friend you and love on you between now and recruitment. 2). You know a chapter alumn who will go to bat for you with the rush team and advisors. She will have probably already asked actives to get to know you and we will work hard at getting to know you. That's it! A chapter alumni who doesn't personally know you will not go to bat for you! We only look at resumes to make sure you meet our minimum standards. Recs are only used to make sure you can afford to pay dues. (Seriously, there is a box that the alumni will check stating this!). If just one girl in the house doesn't like you, expect to be cut first round. If an alumni writes you a negative rec, we CANNOT give you a bid even if we love you! If you are paired with a bad rusher during recruitment, no, she is not being rude, she just knows that you are going to be cut so there is no use in getting your hopes up. Rush is like politics! You must play the very dirty game properly and correctly.
