-An extremely strong and established Greek system
-A high percentage of super qualified and exceptional PNMs (grades, personalities, activities, appearance, connections etc.)
-Recommendations are required to even be considered for the second round
-Legacy status has very little significance since there are many more legacies than spots available in new member classes
-A high degree of “tent talk” and recognition of tiers (whether they be true or fair or not)
-Many chapters with extremely high return rates and even higher release figure requirements from the first day on
-Even the most qualified of PNMs can experience brutal cuts in each round
-A high percentage of PNMs who have expectations of which chapters are “acceptable” to belong to and would rather drop out of recruitment than accept a bid from one of the “unacceptable” ones
-And sometimes ……. overly involved parents and/or alumnae who make things a whole lot more difficult than they need to be.
