No frills recruitment ... what does that mean?

Is no-frills recruitment the same as values-based recruitment?

Well, technically but the chapter still could "focus" on something else....if you get my drift.

Two questions:

Why are composites, trophies and plaques on both lists?

NYCMS? No philanthropy at all, or no philanthropy DAY?

I never saw the point of the crafts. We did big service events where we often made things that fell in line with things chapters would do for a "crafts day" (and probably attracted some PNMs in the process) but I couldn't imagine doing it during recruitment.

I wondered that, too. How on earth are groups with hundreds of members going to take down all their big honkin composites (which I assume are affixed to the walls by a bit more than a Command hook)?

Two ways:

1) They just cover them up!

or

2) This is really going to blow your mind: They move everything out...yes, hire movers who take it to a storage facility and then bring it all (furniture and all) back after recruitment. I know at Arizona State many of the chapters do this.

When I cut and pasted, I messed up. Composites, trophies, and plagues are not considered frills. I apologize. (And it won't let me edit it . . . ? )

My bad (and poor memory!), we have a philanthropy, but there was no Philanthropy Day - we had Skit Parties which were replaced by Philanthropy Day for several reasons, likely including the 'frills' element since some sororities had skits that rivaled Broadway shows and others didn't.

And to address a comment above: Removing composites because they are "frills". We covered up the pics of the girls who were rush counselors. The only way they could remotely be considered frills was that some houses had way more members on their composites but PNM's can figure that out on their own.
