well my org doesnt rush and doesnt have quotas or whatever the case may be like i read about other orgs having so we dont deny bids for riduculous reasons. i've seen people try but to my knowledge it hasnt happened in my chapter. Even if it did i wouldnt condone it. But then again like i said, we dont have any quotas or rush so our applicant pool doesnt require us to deny hundreds of people, if that makes sense to you. I guess to truly understand the quandry at hand i'd have to be in the same position as other people and vice versa.

Obviously if the tattoo is one that is offensive and reflects an attitude that contradicts the mission and purpose of the org then yes, i can understand denying a bid but just for the plain fact that the interest or pnm has one shouldnt be the deciding factor in my mind. everyone is entitled to their opinion and if that is how a particular chapter or org overall operates than to each his or her own.
