The only way I could see this occurring would be if the group was regionally stronger, and therefore had a lot more info on the PNM's, through alumni recs and personal friendships.
Also, several posters have said they would not hurt a sister's feelings; they would rather close a chapter. Please remember that your chapter belongs not only to the active sisters, but to all the women who came before you. I believe that the current executive board has a responsibility to your alumnae, and must think about the bigger picture. Some will disagree with me, and that is a fundamental difference we will not resolve.
Now, as far as practical solutions, my chapter made the computer committee really fun, so people wanted to be on it. I am not delusional, and I know that when the rush chair asked someone to be on it, all parties understood we were essentially saying that woman would not be a good rusher. However, while 95% of us were practicing chants and cheers in the heat during work week, the computer committee was drinking and watching SBTB reruns at an a/c apartment.
