I feel sorry for the pnms. They are totally relying on 20 year olds to advise them about a legally binding agreement. It is this very fact that is so disturbing regarding the breakdown in communication at this point in recruitment. There are too many myths and inaccuracies that float around among the very people who are supposed to be the experts!
Granted, some people only hear what they want to hear and will do the very thing they are advised not to do. But when pnms are forced to list all the houses they attend, bullied into it in some cases, then I think NPC needs to figure out how to improve this area of recruitment. We have come a long way in leveling the playing field - no frills, RFC, etc but this business of making girls rank houses that they may not want and then smiling while we say, "Sorry, you signed a legal binding agreement on pref night. You are stuck for a year." is getting out of hand.

I agree! But these ADULTS need to know about everything they are signing, not just bids. I am stunned by what students sign then try to get out of because they "didn't know." There are advisors for a reason. If you are unsure, ask someone else. A bid is a big deal--you are joining an organization for life! Why should it be easy to break that agreement?
