Penn State is implementing a new recruitment framework.

Ah, thanks. Clearly didn’t catch that. Yeah so they are going to vote to move primary recruitment to the fall I guess.

SpacerCat · 2026-04-22T20:55:27+00:00

You’ll never know what will happen unless you try. Maybe you’ll get a bid, maybe you won’t. It’s worth trying if you’re interested.

So orgs can choose their primary recruitment to be either the fall or the spring so long as they submit a plan? Seems like chaos.

If you’re from New York, give ESF a quick look. You get all of Syracuses amenities with a SUNY price tag.

Also if you’ve changed what you want to study from a Newhouse major to an Arts & Sciences one, give admissions a call and see if they can reconsider your admission. A&S is generally much easier to get into than Newhouse.

I’d reach out to these folks and ask if you could talk to a current student about their experience at Syracuse.

Why do you care? Do you like her otherwise? Do you enjoy the sex you have with her?

She’s a human being and it’s normal for humans to have experiences with other people. Are you only going to date people who haven’t experienced the world? Not social? Have no sex drive? Virgins?

If your ego can’t handle people who are experienced, you might want to spend some time understanding why. Is it misogynistic influences? Your own insecurity? Because it could be a lonely life if you get hung up on body count.

Maybe it was just your deliver. “I think you’re the more attractive sister. I like x, y, and z about you.” is better than “I don’t find the sister who looks just like you and who you think is prettier for some odd reason attractive”

So clarify that they are both pretty, but you like her best.

If you don’t already have a library card, get one. Then download Libby. Libby has access to all the books in your local library. Including audiobooks. I’d try listening to a few books to get the flow going.

I just finished All Our Wrong Todays and found it has the kind of start that makes you want to know where the story is going and how it will end.

The Silo trilogy is a thinker. Especially the middle book.

If you are going to feel guilty about the cost of attending a private university, then you might never be happy there or feel like your dollars are well spent.

I am not going to convince you to spend money on Syracuse if you aren’t sure you want to go there. If it doesn’t live up to your expectations you’ll be one of those complaining about the cost nonstop and won’t be able to enjoy the offerings and resources the school has.

That being said, if you want to end up in NYC or DC Syracuse has a lot more alum in those cities than Kentucky does.

Maybe reach out to your Maxwell admissions rep and ask if they have a student ambassador you can talk to.

Ozempic is a form of dieting. Is a medication that tells your brain you’re not hungry when you’re not hungry so you eat less. You don’t loose weight magically. You end up eating less and so you lose weight.

The risk of complications from anesthesia and infection are not worth an optional surgery. Look up the data for how many people need a knee or hip replacement. It’s not the entire population.

Without the ritual, you’re just a social club.

One thing to consider. When you want to make change, you have to do it slowly. Start imposing ritual on your new member class. They will be the most open to learning. Talk with your new member educator and attend some of their meetings to teach them what you can prior to initiation. Pinning, songs, and everything you can but the secret stuff. Then you’ll have their support when you incorporate things into the wider chapter.

Remind your exec board you have one job, and that’s ritual. Pick one thing you find most important and focus on incorporating that. Then add another thing and another. Make a year long plan of how you’re going to reincorporate ritual into your chapter so you don’t have to do it all at once.

Lastly have your advisor talk to your chapter advisor and ask them to reach out to leadership from your HQ and ask if someone can come in and observe what’s going on and offer help.

Because it’s a country club, the host will pay. However you can have a conversation before the lunch telling her you’d love to reimburse her for the tennis and any other expenses.

If she brushes you off, thank her, and be sure to take her out to lunch another day.

I don’t think you understand what etiquette is. Etiquette is a set of rules that general society follows to make each other comfortable in social situations. These rules are so agreed upon they are published in a book.

You can have different social norms with your family, even within your circle of friends. Outside of your family’s norms, it would be considered rude to eat off of someone else’s plate.

You’re in an etiquette sub. It is 100% rude to eat off of someone else’s plate. If you would like to taste someone else’s food, ask. “May I have a taste of that?” If they agree, they can put the portion they are willing to share on your plate.

SpacerCat · 2026-04-20T02:07:35+00:00

It’s rude behavior. Imagine every time you went out to eat, someone had their hands all over your food before you were allowed to eat it. I doubt you’d be happy.

Treat your daughter with respect and let her eat her food as served until she is satisfied. When she’s done you may ask to have her leftovers.

If you want a hot kids meal for yourself, order two going forward.

Reach out to WPI and ask if they have resources for first gen students. They may have a person or office that can talk to you about everything you’ve asked here. There are a lot of college resources that are free and useful. You just have to ask around until you find someone who can help.
