I think this is why the NPC is encouraging schools to move toward "no-frills" so the focus is the conversation. It's stupid really, because who actually chooses a chapter based on their decorations, skit, theme, or bulk-ordered matching outfits?
33girl and I are the biggest deferred recruitment cheerleaders on this board for many reasons, but among others, it allows for AUTHENTIC interaction between PNMs and actives.
You can argue that Superpopular Sigma is "forced" to be superficial because they are forced to make so many cuts after round 1 per RFM requirements. I disagree. If they want to take only the prettiest PNMs, that is their prerogative. If they want the PNMs they connect with the best, their challenge is to ask the right kinds of questions to get the right information from PNMs.
