Iowa still have a very active NPC greek community, but not in numbers of PNM's going thru. I think you are right, they need to do more PR. Many of the PNM's are coming from the State of Illinois where in the Chicagoland suburban high schools, recruitment is talked about. And yes, University of Illinois is HUGE with greeks. Illinois has the largest greek system in the country. They have PR, but it's when the students return to campus. So right now, according to last report, about 200 signed up for Panhellenic Recruitment over the website. Because of waiting til freshman get on campus to push NPC and IFC, the NPC numbers swelled to 1,308 PNM's last year on the first day of recruitment which was around September 2nd and bid day was September 12th. What a site I'm sure--1,308 PNM's visiting 21 houses over 2 days!
Does Iowa give their PNM's matching t-shirts to wear?
Iowa has recruitment the week before the semester starts, though, so they need to do all their PR during the spring/summer before students get to campus.

I'm not sure if the PNMs get matching t-shirts. I know each sorority at Iowa has Greek t-shirts (the design is the same on all shirts, but each chapter has their own name on it) that they wear the first day of recruitment.
