After a lengthly discussion, they decided that we should still include them "as an option" and tell the girls at the information sessions that chapters "strongly suggest including this information"....so much for following NPC resolutions. Traditions don't die easily in the South.

I know of a story where a delegate to a Texas alumnae panhellenic wanted the APH group to get involved with UT's (and other big schools in Texas) collegiate panhellenic in order to review the recruitment rules, all of them, as well as the NPC resolutions. She then wanted us to make sure that all our member groups with chapters at UT (and the other alumnae panhellenics in the area) knew and understood the rules so that "everyone was on a equal playing field." All good intentions.
She was laughed at and pretty much run off.
I don't know how it all came to be, but alumnae are involved in what I will call "pre-recruitment". Its so common in some areas that if one alumnae association does choose to follow the rules and not take pnms to lunch or do other meetings with them, it comes across as if that NPC isn't interested in the pnm. And its all a violation of "the rules" but you might imagine what the response would be if someone ratted on the groups doing this. So people get in the game--and it continues.
