What? No... to me, that just is not right. I can understand "involvement" if one is an advisor, or if the actives are requesting alumae support, or the national has requested alumnae support, but otherwise I'm completely HANDS OFF the recruitment process. There is a recruitment advisor, a membership advisor, and it is the actives' chapter and their membership recruitment process. To me, that's creepy.

Now this I can understand, and I agree. As an alumna, if I had knowledge of a PNM that was not in line with the membership selection process, I would contact the recruitment advisor and membership advisor. Definitely.

PNMs would do well to remember that there are GLO alumnae everywhere they go; we are all connected to the high school world (either directly or indirectly through our friends and social groups). And we all talk with one another. You might think no one is watching, but in this day and age, someone is. Good or bad, someone is taking note of what you say and do. Behave accordingly. Yes, it makes a difference.
