to pnms who were released
by: Alum Member
I've met a lot of PNMs this week who were released entirely from recruitment after Rounds 2 and 3. For them, I am sure, looking at all these women lamenting losing one house on their schedule that they liked must be heartbreaking. PNMs, if you had any houses who kept you until prefs, who saw something in you and valued it - you should be so very proud. That's an accomplishment. Complaining and whining that it's not the house you think you deserve only makes it very clear that the house that kept you deserves better than reluctant, whiny new members and hurts the women who may have LOVED that house but been dropped from it.
PNMs who were released entirely - please, please, do not turn your anger and disappointment into hatred for the Greek system as a whole. What happens during recruitment does not in any way correlate to your individual self worth. You are beautiful, brilliant, funny, and engaging and you are absolutely deserving of sisterhood and love. Just because you fell through the cracks this year does not devalue you as a person. I know from experience that it's hard to pick yourself up and move on after something as painful as a full release, and I know you may be rightfully angry and blaming the entire system. But everything does happen for a reason, and there are thousands of ways to get involved at UF. A sorority is one way, but not the only way. Please continue to chase your passions - do Gator Growl staff, do DM, volunteer, be a RA or a TA - don't let this one

...setback crush your spirit. If it's meant to be, it will be. And don't forget Gamma Phi Beta! Maybe you are destined to lead a new sorority as a founding member. In any case, we love you, we appreciate you, and we think you're wonderful. Enjoy all that UF has to offer. <3

As someone who just got her phone called saying she's been released please be humble ladies. Take whatever bid you get and please wait and see how you feel during the new member period before you decline to be initiated. Take the blessing of being given a bid and see it through for those of us that can't. I appreciate this post more than you know and it made me cry in such a good way.

All of the above is very true, ladies. I was a member of Pi Phi when the chapter recolonized at UF. I pledge the chapter as a sophomore and had the opportunity to become an instant leader. We didn't have a house but boy did we have an amazing sisterhood! We had the unique opportunity to build our own traditions, we had socials with top tier fraternities, date functions, formals, homecoming partners, etc. When invites go out from Gamma Phi Beta, please take the opportunity to meet with them and explore this possibility. Also, there are many ways to get involved at UF. It is such a fabulous and welcoming place to learn and grow. Good luck to you all!

I colonized as a junior and it was an awesome two years and one of my fondest college memories. So glad I gave the new chapter a try. PNMs are fortunate to have the option of GPB!!!!
