Which is the lesser of 2 evils?

[KSUViolet06]

I'd prefer double rushing to having sisters from other chapters rushing PNMs. Our Panhellenic didn't allow alumnae to "rush" PNMs anyway, so we had to work with the # of actives we had. When we had to double rush when we were smaller, we did it 2:2 as opposed to 2:1. Oddly enough, the year we had to do the most double rushing was the year we made quota and went on to double our chapter size.

M reasoning is, yes the chapter is small, but at least those woman can actually speak to the experience of being a member of that chapter.

I've always thought it would be really awkward if a PNM was being rushed by a sister from another chapter and the PNM asked something like "What makes your chapter unique?" As much as the sister from another chapter wants to help, she can't really answer that question the way a sister from that particular chapter really can.

I also think that having women from another chapter rushing PNMs actually does the chapter a disservice because those women aren't going to be around anyway. A PNM might really connect with some sisters, but they're from another chapter and won't be there once they get bids. It creates a "bait and switch" situation.
