I'm sure a lot of people considered long and hard before making these changes--at least I hope they did! Certainly lopping over $100 off the registration costs can only improve PNM participation, and I can see other benefits as well.
Having said that, I think it's pretty disingenuous for Greek Affairs to tout this new schedule as "less stressful." Someone please tell me how cramming all 11 parties into one day can be construed as easier on either sororities or PNM's?! Obviously the whole week is compressed. I haven't seen the schedule, but if things are unchanged from the discussions I heard last spring, "pref night" parties will be in the morning of Day 4, and bids will be distributed that same afternoon/evening. I've talked to a few actives, and most are less than enthusiastic. Are any of you using a similar schedule, and what do you think about it?
