I think it's things like seeing "recs are suggested but not required, it is the chapter's responsibility" and clothing that is far more casual than what women actually wear on the websites. Then again, the South hardly has a corner on that sort of thing. A lot of it IMO is just a misguided attempt by national Panhel to "de-frill" these very frilly, very traditional recruitments. All I can say is GIVE IT UP!! Nathan Lane will be banging Pamela Anderson in a dive bar in Omaha before that happens. Just be honest and put the info out there so first generation Greeks know what to do.

You have hit the nail on the head, 33girl. All National Panhell has accomplished is to make the process seem more unfair to the women unaccustomed to the process. For the women who grew up in the state of Alabama is makes perfect sense. To women coming from Maryland, for instance where for many schools recs are non-existent, the process would be very confusing...especially if you went by the panhellenic website!
