Potential AIs, if you take anything from this board, understand that EVERY GROUP IS DIFFERENT. When collegians come through recruitment, we may have met them over three days! And as far as determining someone's commitment level from an application and resume--that's what employers do when they are hiring for a position.

I don't think anyone thinks it's "OK" - more that they want PNAMs to know that just because Annie AI completed her process in 3 months, that's not necessarily what will happen to them.
Yes we give bids to collegians we've only spent a few hours with, but we can also terminate collegians if down the line, it's shown that they are not living up to the commitment they made to the group. It's quite a bit harder to terminate an alumna.
Oh, and employers also do face to face interviews, often more than one. There are very few people who get hired solely from their resume.
It sounds like bichonl is in a different position than many of the GC PNAMs we've seen -
because she already knows someone in the group. When you know someone in the group before AI even came up and are not approaching them out of the blue, naturally it's going to flow more smoothly. As far as her participating or not with the alum chapter, it's not a necessity. We have women who are national volunteers but don't participate in alum chapters, either because there isn't one by them, they didn't get along with the other women in it, or they don't have the time to do both. It all depends upon the structure of your organization.
