See, here's what fries my mind:
If Pi Phi was looking for a handy way to drop the problem of having more legacies than spots in new member classes, the way to do that and manage to infuriate loyal alums was to drop all legacy privileges, then claim they were doing it in the name of diversity. Virtue signaling at its worst--loads of money and alum support were lost, plus diversity is likely to go down as chapters won't want to pledge women whom they know nothing about.
If they were hoping to solve the problem of recruitment committees having to read hundreds of recs by announcing that all recs were out the window but claiming it was "so that they could increase diversity", they blew it again. I actually had some idiot tell me that the idea was that no one would know any woman at all until she walked through the door on the first day.
Chapters are now doing their best to find out the tea on PNMs by phone and email, and who can blame them? I have had several calls from chapters already about local PNMs.
This has been a massive fail, both putting a much heavier workload on chapters and offending alums, often the ones who have been their biggest financial supporters. Good luck in keeping the big McMansions in repair.
