After going thru some older threads it seems like the majority of the PNM/PNAM events get under way after Labor Day weekend before and /or after, (or even during (assisting other alums w/ the behind the scences stuff, etc.) during rush.
Then we (PNAMS) have the time factor of the alums getting to know the us.
That way new member ceremonies can be combined w/ collegiate chapters and possible arranging for the PNAMs to go thru initiation w/ the collegiate chapter (btn Oct--Dec for most GLOs).
Anyone please jump in if I'm wrong.
