For my school, and many others where the sorority members have to seek out PNMs, this idea of getting out and working hard to meet as many people as possible, works well.
Not really, I truly believe it's applicable to almost any school. Even at a school like Maryland, where about 10% of the student body is Greek and 500ish women sign up for recruitment to join one of 14 chapters, it is applicable because your chapter can get women interested enough to sign up for formal recruitment if that is the only way to join. Plus, a rising tide floats all ships.

The only type of campus I would think this would be less applicable (but still somewhat relevant) would be at a small, academically prestigious campus where more students go Greek than don't. The pool can't get much bigger (but recruitment techniques can still improve).

33, I agree that as a society, we are becoming less social, or at least younger generations are. We text or write on someone's facebook wall instead of calling someone. It's easy, fast, and non-confrontational. It's really quite sad.
