So you're saying that in a colonization, a new chapter should not be given a fair chance to recruit its charter members outside of formal recruitment and have an opportunity to establish itself? Instead, unorganized, it should wander into the fray of formal recruitment with no charter members, and just national officers to interview the PNMs, while those same PNM's are treated to skits and bonding with their potential new sisters at the other chapters?

I can hardly see adult women actively encouraging the PNM groups "Drop out of recruitment and join us" as you are saying. I find it much more likely they went group to group explaining that there were options post-recruitment if they didn't find what they were looking for in the formal recruitment process. It's not a crime to tell someone not to sign a bid card-- think of the number of women who would be tied to a bid they rejected (for a calendar year) while other GLOs had to COB and the new colony could have benefitted from those members in its charter group.
