NPHC Members To Be Among Gamma Chis for Fall 2012 NPC Recruitment (Miss. State)

[DeltaBetaBaby]

I said it elsewhere, but I'll say it again:

Many women who go through recruitment have great (or at least good) experiences the whole way through. Thinking that they can relate to women who are getting heavily cut just because both have been through formal recruitment is a huge mistake. Yet, many of us would agree that consoling disappointed PNM's (and encouraging them to stay!) is one of the most important things that a gamma chi does.

So, if you think that NPHC women are not qualified to do this, I think that you should also never have gamma chis who got their top choices each round.

Hey, that's pretty good. It's awful watching someone who got all her choices go off on someone who hardly has any. Yeah, she'd come apart too if it had happened to her and the PNM knows it.

This just seems strange to me. I can't imagine being a PNM with a Gamma Chi who wasn't a member of the organizations. I would questions her ability to be thoroughly knowledgeable. I know that there are clueless Gamma Chis from NPC groups, but I agree with the previous comment that this is a misguided attempt at diversity.

I also think alums of groups not on campus is a really interesting idea. Alums would have much more to offer in terms of objectivity and a bit of life perspective.

Well, if the only issue about NPC recruitment is to console a crying young woman who does not get her choices, or is dropped, then yeah, I guess anyone can be a gamma chi.
