You can be a supermodel or Mother Theresa on the internet and be the opposite in real life. Also, we don't know what the chapter members are seeing when these PNMs enter their parties. I think kddani is completely correct when she stressed that we want to be encouraging but realistic, and excited but cautious.

This is SOOO true!
I also keep telling myself that ultimately, I must trust the chapter's decision. I just wish the "To Rec or Not To Rec" situations were made more clear!!
As for a PNM or New Member saying something about a chapter, as long as it's not said with a mean spirit, I'm all ears! If a chapter I'm advising is coming off as conceited, or slutty, or whatever, I would want to know. But that's my opinion.
