That's an interesting question. I think I would say both, or neither.
I think it depends on the individual's experiences and the chapter's focus on alumni involvement. For example, with NPHC (from what I've inferred from some friends and GC, so correct me if I'm wrong) you have an "informed consumer" pursuing membership and this person should already understand the lifetime obligation they are about to accept. With NIC/NPC your new member is likely rather clueless to the majority of the greek experience, and it's up to the chapter and its membership education program to enstill these values. So I would say that it is less about recruitment and more about education.
