The people that mentioned that the change of words was designed to be anti-hazing are probably the most correct.
Although the NPC groups probably made the largest strides in that area by standardizing the new member programs and even farming them out to experts to write.
In that way NPC groups are ahead of NIC, which still usually has a bunch of 19-20 year olds designing the pledge program and allows each chapter to design their own program.
The naming of Rush to recruitment is probably a bad change. Not just because its PC but because its very misleading.
Generally recruitment is taught on a sports team model, not a military one.
So a college sports team has a certain amount of people that will just try out. Very similar to Rush. The teams that have a better reputation and stronger programs get more people at try outs. Or the schools that have reputations for strong programs see a lot of automatic joiners.
Thats still not recruitment.
Recruitment is when the coaches go out and actively try to find and identify talent and then convince them to go to their school and join their team.
NPC Formal Rush (recruitment) has nothing to do with a true recruitment model. In fact your rules prevent you from doing that at all.
COB would come closer to allowing that model. But most chapters are not good at COB, just as most fraternity chapters are not that great at Rush/recruitment.
A true recruitment model would probably have you identifying and "recruiting" already established student leaders.
