Nobody really shows the brotherhood aspect or the community service aspect. Could just be my campus, but I doubt it.
Anyways, a lot of this is rambling, but I'm a big proponent of quota and total. It works to keep 26 groups healthy and strong.

Now I know a lot of fraternity rush is about selling the women and social. But not all. I KNOW with a 95% certainty, that if I can get a prospect to hang out with my chapter, he'll usually sign. The sense of brotherhood is tangeable. We got to be largest by stressing academics, brotherhood and our diversity. It worked. But remember, I didnt say that the NIC recruitment was the answer. I just said I believe there has to be a way to put the emphasis back on the PNM's in sorority recruitment, and adress declining numbers. You said "I'm a big proponent of quota and total. It works to keep 26 groups healthy and strong." my question then, is this; If fraternities (NIC) use a different system, what explains the viability and success of the 67 member orgs that comprise the NIC? I am just saying NIC is healthy and strong as well. Arent you open to the discussion of another system? Not necessarily mine, but another?
