I think that not forcing RCs to disaffiliate is much easier for the chapters, the RCs themselves and the girls going through recruitment. RCs are taboo and verboten, at least at my school, between when girls return to campus for Spirit Weekend (polish weekend) and when recruitment ends. They're completely cut off from their chapters and essentially treated as social pariahs-we were told we were not allowed to acknowledge them, smile at them, or treat them as human beings while we wore letters lest we be called in for a recruitment infraction for talking to a disaffiliated member. At another school, I know that the rift between affiliated members and disaffiliated members became so great that fraternity members felt forced to choose sides and only speak to one group or the other before recruitment ended.
I think it's much easier for a girl to be convinced to stay in recruitment if she knows what group her RC is in and can hear her say, "Well I'm not an XYZ but I have some close friends who are and here's the great things we do with them" rather than trying to remain neutral and saying nothing significant about them.
33girl-I know for us, if you're not speaking to girls on the floor you don't attend voting, and I don't think it's MSS for me to share that. I was on the setup/takedown team this year and didn't meet PNMs or vote on them, and neither do girls on other support teams in my chapter.
