The rest of the week is time for yourself...NM’s and Sisters are encouraged to get to know each other in the “off time” through dinners and hanging out together, but nothing is required.

Sounds like my chapter. I come from an extremely professional school where time-commitments can be extremely heavy. Official commitments are kept to a minimum for new members as such. However, my NM educator made the effort to get us together other times (a lot), but since it wasn't required we always felt okay with saying "I really can't today, I have too much work to do".
I think such a method did make us closer, because it was partially the NMs who made the period work. We made the effort to get together and know eachother - no one made us, we chose to.
What makes closer ties - forced ties, or the ties you choose?
