Question: Why do you feel they would be assets to your chapter?

Maybe there's a PNM who has made a few small mistakes in the past, but her grades are amazing, she's involved on campus, and she helps out at a soup kitchen every weekend. That would be something that you could work with, and you might be able to look past those issues (assuming that they're nothing too outrageous).

However, if you're analyzing a PNM, and you find yourself answering "yes" to many of these questions:

How well to they present themselves(if they dont take pride in their appearance in recruitment are they going to take pride in their appearance when representing the chapter on campus and/or to alumnae)? Do they show up when they say they will or blow things off? Do they occasionally use inappropriate language in an appropriate setting or are they constantly using inappropriate language regardless of the situation? Are they someone who enjoys drama to the point of moving a chapter backwards rather than forwards?
... and the PNM has nothing else going for her except she's fun to hang out with, that would probably be a completely different story.
