HA - I hope this doesn't give my campus away, but this year we changed the way we do recruitment. In years past, recruitment's lasted Sunday-Saturday; with 2 nights of Open House, 2 Nights of Philanthropy, 1 Theme Night, 1 Pref Night, and Bid Day.
This year, it was cut in half; all 4 nights of Open House and Philanthropy were combined into 1 "Values Night", and we kept Theme, Pref and Bid Day the same.
PNMs have never had to choose which parties they come back for, as long as they're invited back. The only night they've ever had to make a cut is Pref Night.

This is exactly how I felt when RFM was explained to me the other day. Seems that since our sorority is the newest and smallest on campus, we HAVE to invite the number of PNMs back that we're told...
I don't WANT to have to take PNMs just because no one else wants them; I don't want to take the ones that aren't really into it! I want to be in competition with the best of the best PNMs!
Ok, don't get me wrong, we have gotten some GREAT ladies through formal recruitment! But it just seems that we're the chapter that takes the "leftovers". We have to COB more than the others, and it kinda gets me down sometimes.
