How many PMNs "know" before they even start recruitment?

If this is really truly happening I hope other chapters are filing recruitment infractions and so are the PNMs. This is bid promising, and it's 100% against the rules. Either it's happening and it's wrong, or your friend is a gossiping shrew who is either jealous of these chapters or the PNMs that are supposedly being promised.

I totally agree. Although, I think there are times when there's pressure on a chapter to take someone, but they're not forced. Both are wrong, but it seems to me (from the outside, as my chapter was never pressured or forced to take anyone, because really, who would bother with my dirty and disgusting COR/deferred formal recruitment campus/chapter) that a lot of chapters are pressured, but if they were still to not give a bid to the legacy or other PNM, probably nothing would happen to them.
