I attribute this both to our improved conversation skills and the girls ability to detach personal feelings from whether or not a girl is truly interested in the sorority.

Our pref night was last night and again it was really powerful but in a different way than skit. 4 members gave smaller speeches about what Kappa Delta means to them and they had kept their speech a secret from the rest of the chapter so it was also the first time most of us had heard it. They were very touching and emotional and many PNMs were in tears. ( I always find it funny how making so many girls cry is a good thing in recruitment ).
This is GREAT and these two things tie together. Obviously you develop some feelings but if you get too hung up about the fact that your favorite PNM didn't come back it's hard to give your all at pref to the women who ARE there for you. Not to mention that just as sometimes you love a girl but don't feel she's right for your group...so too the rushees have the same feelings. Just because they don't feel part of you doesn't mean they dislike you.
