I personally like the way that we do things, but it all depends on the group. We did things that way in order to be sure that we would be taking people who truely knew what they wanted and what we were about, and that was especially important b/c we were a pg and needed people who were going to work hard. Now, if it comes down to: she looked at me funny at rush and I don't like her so let's not take her, that's inappropriate and should not be tolerated. But in general, a little selectivity will avoid a lot of trouble later.
