Negative Impact of Formal Rush?

[James]

Might it be fair to say that . . .

Going by these threads it seems that NPC's, and sororities' in generals, emphasis on Formal Rush can really hurt chapters that are either hurting for numbers at a really strong Greek School or exist at Schools with less strong systems?

It seems that enormous resources have been provided both educationally for doing Formal correctly and by the chapters in executing Rush.

I know chapters at schools where quota is 10 or less that exhaust themselves putting on the requisite displays.

I was wondering if this took away from truly teaching chapters good recruitment methods when the New Members aren't lining out of nowhere.

Lets face it, in schools with huge systems, the girls don't have to recruit. In the schools with lacking systems, or when the chapter is small, are the ones in need of very good recruitment skills.

I know we have touched on this before, but it still seems like its a topic that has not been adequately developed.
