Different system guys, you may disagree but it's like trying to compare NPHC and NPC... apples to oranges. Thus don't be surprised when many NPC members disagree with your points of view...
Basically yea. The ex-boyfriend's fraternity would give out to bids to just about any guy. They would tell guys when pinning was and that if they were interested they needed to come to the house dressed up at such and such a time. If necessary, they would have more than one pinning ceremony. Throughout their associate member process, guys would either not like it and drop out, not have grades, etc. and they would end up initiating a small fraction of the guys that they gave bids to. When I told him I was surprised at their associate member retention rates, he just shrugged it off and said that to them getting a bid wasn't a big deal at all, getting initiated was.
