thanks for listening guys

Do you guys really think PMs are bad? If i saw someone on the board from my school, i would definitly PM to say i would answer any questions they had with in THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. Read no rush infractions here, meaning i would be PMing as if i did have "12 sisters looking over my shoulder" from different houses. I would probably give them the link to our panhell, encourage them to contact the panhell office and maybe outline the different days of rush, for example we have a skit day, then philathropy, etc and a little about what is appropriate wear. BUT I WOULD NEVER USE A SHAMELESS PLUG. I do however see lot of girls on here who have specific concerns and if i PMed them it would probably be best to answer in panhellenic terms just as if i had a friend who was a PNM. Which i have ACTUALLY had a friend who was a PNM, who liked to ask me lots of questions, for example she was concerned about smaller houses and if she would really want to be in a really small sisterhood. I dont see anything wrong wiht saying, well i am in a small sisterhood at XYZ and i have never encountered your concern AS WELL there are many other sororities on our campus that are small and they also feel the same way. This was the way we were taught to deal with situations like this. Address maybe your invidividual chapter if they had asked about it but then quickly move it to talking about it in go panhell terms. The whole panhellenic system is wonderfull. etc etc. My friend also asked me some very specific questions which after i informed her that it was against the rules to answer, i quickly refered her to panhell or told her to write down her question and as her gamma chi (or rho chi) once school started.
do you guys agree with this thinking?
