No one is saying it should be easy.

However, when signing such an agreement, PNMs need to be properly informed. The average freshman knows ZERO about recruitment. They are relying on Rho Chis and Greek Life staff to provide correct info. I mean, if a Rho Chi tells a PNM "list everyone or you'll be released" she is going to do that because she'll take what Rho Chi says as fact. Why shouldn't she?

Hence why it's important for everyone involved with PNMs on that level (particularly Greek Life Staff since they're the ones passing it on to the PXs) to know the rules.
