Sometimes recruitment policies can get awfully specific about decorations, flower arrangements, etc.
I realize that these policies may be necessary when dealing with a "frills" recruitment, but . . . well, you can see for yourself:
Not to be mean, and I'm sure other Panhellenics have policies that are just as detailed, but here's part of what's posted on Tarleton State's (TX)Panhellenic site:
