Your suggestions would kill the sorority system.I guess if the idea of one or two exclusive chapters per campus, and fewer women having the opportunity of membership is what you are going for, it would be an improvement. Otherwise, nope.

If by "mandatory cuts" you mean the new NPC return system, let me point out that it IS thinking outside the box, for the benefit of chapters and pnm. Campus after campus has reported more girls pledge, and more chapters achieve quota and total. Win/win. It is NOT the "way it has always been" by any means. It is an educated response to legitimate concerns.

As for campus variations, NPC offers more than one recruitment model - so they are already responding to the needs of individual campuses. Formal recruitment is NOT for every campus - thus the options.

The IFC model is a recipe for disaster - you need only look at the vast number of chapters who are constantly closing on various campuses to see it doesn't achieve what the NPC system tries to acomplish.

For the vast majority of women the current system WORKS. Improvements? Yes - we should always try to improve. But we don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
