College students are adults. That's why most of them move out of the house or move far away when they go to college. Recruitment should be an experience they can go through without their mommies fighting the fights for them, or demanding to know things about their life at college before they even do.

How does calling the alumna after the decision is made equate with recruitment being more about the alumna than about the actives and PNMs?
You're following up on the legacy notification that the alumna sent to the chapter, not breaking down the PNM's recruitment results generally.
ETA: I'm not trying to be antagonistic. If I were a member of your group, I suspect the not-calling policy would seem as natural as breathing. But it's seems like some people seem to think that call means a lot more than it does. It's just a courtesy that the chapter as representatives of the GLO shows the alumna member.
