Not only is the pnm able to get use to college then greek life, but since our school is smaller we get to know some of the pnm before recruitment. Most times you see them out and about around campus or in classes, so you can get a better idea of the type of person they truly are. I also think since there is less craziness going on (moving in, get use to being away from home, working on grades first. etc.) they can concentrate (sp?) more on being active in their organization. It may not be for everyone but it can work.

This is how it works for us as well. The fraternities are the week after sorority recruitment.
