Just a few quick snippets for now. And I should say for the benefit of the public reading this that I'm strictly an observer to this matter -- I'm male. I'm a member (alumnus) of a fraternity at KappaKittyCat's school.
On what authority does Panhel make decisions that contravene the directives of NPC? Do they remember what NPC said a few years back? Panhel is not especially renowned for its recordkeeping abilities.
Opinion in these parts (so far, and I suspect L.B. will agree) is that this is a rash and poor decision. I hear that the 1999-2000 panhel went back to anonymity very resolutely after abysmal results with the 1998-99 experiment. This decision, though it pretends to be designed to preserve anonymity, does not in fact preserve it. It only pays lip service to the idea, while everyone knows the truth. It makes Panhel look like an organization with useless rules.
I suspect, on the basis of what I've heard, that you may find that the negative impact of this decision will outweigh the negative impacts of the system that was already in place.
If you were to push for a consulting group from NPC, you would have trouble getting Panhel to acquiesce. They may see it as an indictment that they don't know what they're doing, even though it doesn't necessarily amount to that.
While there is a risk of new kinds of dirty rushing, there remains the fact that most people there aim to choose sororities for valid personal reasons. One can hope that these reasons would still predominate in PNMs' thinking and that no one would intentionally skew their thinking.
I have doubts that you would get all 8 GLOs to agree to do a fall rush, and I wonder if doing so in defiance of school policy would constitute a violation that would jeopardize access to housing under the formal group housing policy there. As you know, I'm personally very skeptical of the idea of fall rush on the LU campus.
