We're planning on doing this individually since we only need a few girls by having their point of contact (a sister who they are friends with) introduce them to more sisters and we will decide whether or not to extend a bid. I just have a formality question...do you tell the PNM you are informally recruiting? I think it's a bad idea in case you decide not to extend a bid, but my CMC thinks it's necessary. What has been your chapter's policy on this, or what is your recommendation?
Thanks!!!

I think this depends strongly on what you know already about the PNM and her level of both knowledge and interest in sorority life. In fact, if I could post powerpoint slides to GC, I'd make you a little chart.
In words, if she has high knowledge and high interest, you tell her right away. High knowledge, low interest, she's probably not the right PNM to be going after. Low/low, delay telling her, and low/high, tell her soon.
