Agreed. Formal sorority recruitment is more numbers-driven, with spreadsheets and formulae, etc. NPC formal recruitment is all about determining quantifiable comparisons of how the sororities recruit in competition against each other. You can look at a chapter's return rates (rates that PNMs were coming back to chapter XYZ's next party round) and determine that a chapter was doing much better/worse/the same than the previous year and in comparison to other chapters.
Greek men and women know the difference between PNMs who they really, really want to pledge and PNMs who will be cut asap, or who might be bid... if you don't get Johnny Awesome versions 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Key Factors:
-Leadership, accomplishments, grades
-Attractiveness (in the WHOLE sense of the word - personality, charisma, attitude, physical appearance)
