HR Tactics - Secrets?

Fellow monkeys, have you ever heard of HR putting you on a wait list solely because they want to cover their bases incase somebody reneges on their offer? I mean have you actually HEARD/EXPERIENCED something like this happening?

My friend is on a wait list for a BB, and this is her theory - which I think is ridiculous (Sorry Mimi ;))

Thanks for the input friends :)

Yeah that's usually what wait lists are for.

Pi Phi?

Pi Beta Phi you mean? Haha not quite. Think a couple tiers higher ;)

What about you?

Pi Alpha Phi then? That's the only other "Pphi" I can think of that's not pi beta phi or a fraternity. Not really a few tiers higher since you'd only have 11 chapters in that case.

Not gonna say my affiliation. Anyone whos read a chunk of my posts could figure out who I am with that piece of the puzzle.

I didn't intend to mean any greek affiliation with 'pphi.' You just assumed :) Yes, I am in a sorority, but some other then Pi Beta Phi.

Ah ok. Really big Pi Beta Phi chapter where I go to school, so I see PPhi/PiPhi all over the place.
