Although where you're coming from makes sense, I ditto the remarks of 33girl and Alphafrog that a sorority woman who is also an RA should be able to participate in recruitment events as any other member would - nonetheless, there is always additional hall staff - including RAs, hall directors, etc., who are there for student concerns. Sometimes at a time like that, as others have mentioned, a non-Greek perspective or shoulder to cry on will be far more helpful. Not knowing the set-up of this particular university's recruitment, several campuses have taken to having panhellenic members and/or professional staff who are available for various crisis throughout recruitment - sounds like a bit much, however, the recruitment process, and rejection if it occurs, can be very difficult. Such is life. And for the very few women who will return to that particular floor rejected from the process it doesn't seem to make sense to sacrifice this member's participation in the process for her obligations as an RA. Nonetheless, that should be a member's personal decision, not that of Panhellenic - if PHC needs more people to help rejected PNMs, that's their responsibility to find them and acknowledge that need in their community - not rely on someone else's campus job and set up recruitment rules barring them from participation.
