I personally love COBing because you really *do* get to know the potential new member on a level far beyond formal recruitment. And usually the whole chapter knows the PNM, so it's much easier to vote on membership.

Even though I joined in formal rush I know exactly what you are saying kk_bama!
Of course the main reason for having formal recruitment is that it is the most convenient (timewise anyway) method of getting a large number of PNMs to see many different chapters and vice versa at least once. Unfortunately the time crunch leads to that whole challenge of the process becoming seemingly superficial. And making a lifetime decision in four days is tough! It would be great if we (NPcers) could figure out more ways to incorporate the best parts of informal rush into the formal process, especially at these very large campuses with very large rushes.
