I only know about Panhellenic Formal Recruitment and nothing else for a small school with a large greek system. The thing with NPC is that it has to apply its rules to a wide number of colleges all sizes and shapes, while respecting the schools greek life, the individual NPC group and take into consideration any locals that may be at the college. The rules set by NPC (as i understand it) are blanket rules to cover the average college/greek life system.
really the only people who can change this system is NPC delegates. the only way you can let them know how you feel is to write them or talk to them. they can change the rules in the "green book".
As for people saying that NPC "commercializes" recruitment, IMHO without NPC, IFC, and NPHC greek life would most likely not exsist even on the local level. So without NPC's support and promotion, in essence, you would not have a sisterhood. And there are many advantages to having NPC, IFC, or NPHC on your campus, such as: they pay an annual fee to your school, thereby helping the institution financially, they have rules, guidelines and regualtions that keep orgs. from going insane and hazing people to death (and ya can't say it doesn't happen cuz it does, but if NPC weren't there, I believe it would be more prevelent), and they support the community by helping individual chapters with philanthropic charities.
My only beef with rush/recruitment (and can we please just call it rush so we don't have to type as much!) is that i don't believe a PNM should be forced to go to a house she doesn't like after 1st round. If there are 6 houses on campus, and she only really likes 1 of them and is invited back to all, and she drops all but 1, thats her fault if she doesn't get a bid. but then again, i also believe in ISPing too.
but thats just my 0.2 cents.
