I think that if any pnm is generous enough to take time out of her recruitment schedule to post to GC, she should post in the manner she feels most comfortable. After addictively reading each and every recruitment thread from last summer and fall, I would say that the pnms who kept the houses on their campus anonymous, by using House 1, House 2 instead of real names, felt more protected. Recruitment is certainly stressful enough, posting to GC should be the very least of any pnms worries. A pnm should come here for support and fun, and some advice that comes from experience. If we who are on "the other side" gain a window into her experience, all the better, but I would never want my desire for that "window" to compromise her experience in any fashion.
Okay, here's my entirely selfish idea. Because I have pretty bad number dyslexia, I can never keep track of the houses, when they're represented by numbers...so I am making a plug for giving the houses on your campus a proper name.
So, a pnm could name the houses on her campus for different flowers, or different streets in her home town or on her campus, or for different cities she's visited, or when I was in college I was obsessed with reading and music. So I could have named my campus chapters: The violin house, the flute house, the guitar house, the piano house, the harp house etc...
Okay, it may seem silly, but I got the idea from the weddings I've gone to that don't use numbers on the tables any more at the reception, they always use proper names, which seems so personal...
Okay, it's just a selfish plea...but in reality, I want any pnm on here to do what is most comfortable for them. Recruitment is an amazing time, I wish you all the best rush you could possibly have.
