They were assigned based of a few criteria, but I will admit that we tried not to put BEST FRIENDS together, but did make sure everybody in the group got along well and did hang out together on a semi-regular basis. The worry was that if we put people with their absolute best friends, they'd just make up stuff instead of actually doing the recruitment things, rendering the groups pointless. This is still happening though, which is the issue. Our alums won't let the whole idea of the recruitment groups go, though, so I'm trying to find ways to revamp and rearrange them to make them more useful. We're on the right track, in that what we're doing now is far more effective than what we've done in the past, but it's still not working as well as we had hoped. It's just discouraging to see my sisters having such a poor attitude, I understand why they do but it's not helping anything and doesn't seem to be changing.
