The chapter I advise just initiated one NM (pledged in November). I think it depends on the attitude of the chapter and also the NM. In this case, the NM is very spirited and confident. Usually when you have a lot of NM's they tend to bond with each other, their big, and then the chapter. In this case, the only option is to bond with the members of the chapter. During meetings the NM Educator shared what was learned that week in her class in more detail then what is normally explained. The chapter would sing the song that she had recently learned, etc. And most important, her opinion for events and such were listened to from the beginning. I can't say a large NM class gets that much one-on-one. She is probably a much better prepared new sister then some of the others were last semester, simply because she was so ingrained in the whole group.
Another thing too, my NM Ed now knows exactly what to teach and what works in meetings because she got to "practice" on one NM. So when she gets the larger class in fall she will be more confident.
