The Rho Chi's/Rho Gammas do actually do help a lot administratively as well during fromal recruitment...that probably actually is where most of their time will be spent the weeks leading up to and during recruitment.
Another important reason for Rho Gamma's is to give that emotional support and encouragement that some of the PNM's may need. It helps on retention....and I think anyone who has helped out during the formal recruitment process knows that retention for the week is an important thing....if PNM's are not retained, and a lot of women drop, or get droped last minute, it could really through off the whole quota system....not that we want to get into the whole quota debate...but just another factor to think about when considering the usefulness of rho gammas.
As far as women (and men) being grown adults, I absolutely agree, however, I do work on a college campus and maybe it's just my campus, but believe me they do need that extra bit of guidance to help them out.
We are also dealing with a generation of college students that have been programed, signed-up, and active in numerous organizations by the time they reach college (by their parents). Students (generally speaking) of this generation also might have the MOST involved parents of any previous generation since the 1950's!
So some (not all) may need that extra guidance (because they are used to it, and have had it throughout their lives)....and if the women are trained properly, and people hold each other accountable the rho gamma system should be able to function better, and with less back fighting and name calling...but that would be in a perfect world....wouldn't it?
Thanks for listening.
