I don't think anyone has criticized a situation like DWAlphaGam described - if you have a smaller chapter at a big rush school it's going to happen. There are methods to make it work. Plus you do need to see at some point how the PNM's interact with EACH OTHER - if you have 30 sisters and take a 30 person pledge class, it's essential that the pledges get along with each other since they are immediately going to be half of the sorority.

The thing that made people upset in the TBSG thread specifically was a situation (in her eyes) where there were available sisters there and PNM's were being ignored. That's like when I go into McDonald's and the clerk takes her time alphabetizing the ketchup packets before she waits on me. Just as the customer is your first priority, that PNM should be your first priority. Yes you will occasionally get in a jam with a gabby PNM or a nervous sister - but at a school like Truman that has lots of girls going through I am assuming all chapters employ rush workshops over the summer. Those should be used to make sure everyone in the chapter knows the correct tactics to handle situations like these.
