I think the key to getting PNM's to pick Phi Sig is to just be real about it with them. I'm the MRC for our chapter right now and I try to recruit girls who don't see themselves as a "sorority girl" I approach them the week before recruitment and talk to them about school and what not and then ask them if they ever thought about going greek. Once they say that they can't see themself as a sorority girl I ask them if I seem like the stereotypical sorority type. Then I go into my whole speech about how we're not your typical sorority. And those are the women who usually choose Phi Sig and do a lot for a out chapter.

Also when addressing the concern of hazing I explain it like this:

You want to be a part of our family and we want you to be a part of our family so why would we abuse you in any way? I mean if you parents brought home a new baby you wouldn't punch it in the face and say welcome to the family kid, right?
This usually leaves a lasting impression on the PNM's and they remember the speech. Hope that helped
