But even with every member of the chapter participating, you have to rely on each other - you can't meet more than a few pnms per party. The reservations some of you have are in fact problems right now - especially at some of the larger recruitments, where, let's face it, the vast majority of chapter members are making their choices for membership selection based on what their sisters say, not on having personally met each pnm.

I think every chapter member should still get to vote for membership selection - and it may be that the chapter wants to rotate members so more women get to meet pnms. It could work - and it could be good for chapters, too. Every chapter has women who are great conversationalists and rushers, and women who aren't comfortable doing that. Some can cook, some perform, some paint scenery - I'm not saying to not havethe whole chapter participate. It would be especially good for those recruitments which are held during classes - missing recruitment would not be the crisis it sometimes is now.
