Well this chapter has a larger recruitment budget than most of the other houses, and the $800 included all the times they took him out to eat (often with 4 or 5 members of the chapter), all the rounds of golf, bowling, and other such outings, and probably all the gas spent to drive out to talk to the guy in person. I'm sure that not all $800 was directly spent on him. I guess a better way of saying it was that $800 was spent on the effort to rush him.
In other news, we've had three more guys sign in the past couple of days, so we're up to 17 pledges, with 9 bid cards out, and recruitment applications still trickling in. Think it is likely that one more kid will get a bid card, but after Saturday, rush is really going to start slowing down.
