Okay, there are so many things here that I want to quote and respond to, but there were just too many.
FIRST, and most importantly, I was not implying anything just because it was a NORTHERN school. That tidbit was SOLELY for informational purposes. I've read enough "I'm a PNM what should I do?" threads to know that one of the most common questions is, "It depends on where you are." "Southern rush is so different from northern." The geography was ONLY to give more information. I never said that I was from a Southern school, or that southern rush was better. You certainly took that out of context.
SECOND, I have assisted in more than one rush. This is the first time that I'm in on the actual advisors-side. My questions are coming from listening to the active members and advisors complain that something needs to change. I didn't want to say anything about MS, but since someone else mentioned it, that is a big part of the problem as well. Trying to remember 800+ girls information in one evening?
THIRD, I have not made ANY suggestions to anyone. I am simply trying to collect information on how other schools do it. Recruitment at my school was completely different, the Greek atmosphere is totally different. I am not naive enough to think that since it worked at my school, it will work here. As I mentioned before, this is based on complaints from the other advisors (who have been assisting for 12 +years) and the chapter members who don't want to be in MS until midnight!
FOURTH, thank you to all who understand the true sentiment in which my information was first written. There have been issues with return numbers at this school, and many feel that it is because of how unorganized recruitment is. I know that many on here are close to the recruitment process at their particular school, and I thought this would be a good source of information.
