Do you see the problem here?
What happens is that potentials see us as elitist instead of friendly, and our friends in classes - who we would normally encourage to go through recruitment - instead feel as though they are being shunned and that you are being rude to them because you deny their request. It may seem trivial to you older people, but it IS very rude. It also makes communication more difficult - a lot of group projects I've worked on have communicated through Facebook, which is not allowed. Facebook can be a great, useful forum for projects, especially with large groups, and it sucks that we can't use it.

This is the same thing that happened when open parties went away. I know it was for a good reason, and especially at a large school I don't blame people one bit, but it has the same result - people look at us as "elitist." They don't know that the policy was made because Godfrey GDI came to the party and tried to force himself on a brother's girlfriend or that Gemma GDI broke the lock to the chapter room. All they know is that they're not allowed to be a part of it.
