I can't possibly be the only one who reads a Recruitment thread, or another thread, and think, "is that how they do it now? Wow." I thought a general thread like this could help the, um, Seasoned Greeks ask the Newer Greeks questions.

One caveat: Please don't lie to us. We may be Seasoned, but we may also know the Powers That Be!

With that, I ask Questions Number One and Two:

-I've noticed in several Recruitment threads that PNMs will get a schedule of the parties to which they're invited. Is that universal? I remember getting a bundle of invitations, and getting to decide which parties I wanted to attend, and at which of the listed times.

-Why a competition for a Sweetheart? Shouldn't that be either from the hearts of the sisters or brothers, or disregarded for a certain year?
