I understand the rule about not punishing chapters by limiting their pledges makes sense in a way. It isn't a fit punishment for risk mangement violations or something like that. But I do think it is appropriate as a punishment for gross recruitment violations.
Can any of you honestly say that, on your campus, there were not serious recruitment violations? I don't mean "their budget was one dollar over." I mean the promising of bids, the underground pledging of girls who aren't eligible yet, etc. This is just a more flagrant, above-ground version of the same.
Quite frankly, negatively impacting a chapter's rush is the ONLY way these behaviors will stop. I wish NPC would allow a real punishment to fit the crime.
