As I've posted before, I was a COB pledge. I never got to have the formal experience as a PNM, but got it at the chapter and Panhellenic level as a collegian. I've also had it as an alumna adviser.
I don't think that I mentioned anything about "comfortable and happy" in my post--but I do believe that all PNMs should be made to feel welcome. Someone else posted about "common courtesy." That's it exactly, it's a common courtesy to make those PNMs invited to your home feel welcome.
There's no question that PNMs may not feel comfortable or particularly happy. Especially for PNMs on those campuses that require you to attend your max number of parties for which you have invites whether or not you want to return. In that situation, I think that the PNM should be courteous during her party in return. It happens, but when we read of that happening in recruitment threads the general response is along the lines of 'keep an open mind' and so forth, generally supportive and never any disparaging comments tend to follow such postings.

For the same reason we warn the PNMs to be cautious in their posts, we should also be respectful to people reading these threads who come from the sororities and campuses in question.

There's no question about that. I honestly think most of us do that, I really do. But those who read the threads from those campuses should show the same respect in response.
