Let me just say that I know chapters who just don't do it with formal recruitment. It's unfortunate, but not everyone is good at each thing, and COB is their outlet. Now, I agree that on many campuses, COB is not the best way to go, as it's looked at badly if a chapter has to COB after formal recruitment.
If all of the chapters have to COB after formal recruitment, then the ceiling is set far too high for the campus. Most NPC sororities base their "standards" on the campus total. For instance, one of the chapters in my province is on a campus where they are the largest sorority with 40, but campus total is 60. SO, when HQs looks at those #s, the chapter gets warnings about low numbers. Obviously, the ceiling on this campus should be lowered, but many times, Greek Advisors aren't educated on this.
I still believe in the thought that there are always girls who want to pledge, but they just don't know it. That may sound silly, but if the system is offering all that it can, people will want to join! I mean, who wouldn't want to be Greek
