Generally at least 5 transfers come through our recruitment and I think it would be absolutely absurd if I called Kappa at Lawrence or Phi Mu at LaCrosse and said "Hi, so and so is rushing my sorority, did she join your chapter?" I wouldn't give anybody who called our house and asked that the time of day. The girls in my chapter do not have the time to call every sorority at the other school the girl came from on top of classes and recruitment nor the time to email a list of those girls to the alumnae who are at least 60 miles away and busy with work or grad school. It's seriously absurd for you to think that this would work. This isn't like UGA or Bama where many alumnae are not working and have more free time for volunteering and alumnae panhellenic. This is essentially a tech school.

And yes, I do know that community colleges don't have NPCs. I also know that grass is green, the sky is blue, and I am sick of ladies who lunch assuming that every chapter is exactly like theirs.
Nobody has had "rush" since the mid 90s, and I apologize for saying rush rather than recruitment. If you don't care enough to find out if people you initiate were members of a NPC group at their previous campuses, it hardly reflect poorly on people and groups who would make it a priority. If you are too busy to follow up on the few girls who you want to initiate who are transfers (which sounds like it would be far fewer than ten a year), and you wouldn’t help another chapter with similar information, then you get what you deserve.

You’re basically saying you don’t care about the pasts of the girls you are going to make sisters. You’re not in my group, so if you’re cool with that, it’s none of my business.

I will note that many of your observations about Greek life in the south are wildly inaccurate, but if you’d assume all that, you’re not worth the time to correct it.

I think you'd be surprised at just how much I know about rush in the south.

I would never give some random KD or Pi Phi information about my sister. How do I know they are who they say they are? I wouldn't want my sisters to tell you anything about me without my consent.

Sure, it could only be five girls a semester. But that's 5 girls x 5 NPCs at their previous campus...25 phone calls that may or may not even give me actual information...and keep in mind I would have to drive SEVEN HOURS to my chapter to find out who these girls are. You seem to think I have that free time, or that the girls in my chapter have the time to compile dossiers on new members. We don't. We don't put girls on kitchen duty. We are a small chapter.

The Excel spreadsheet I can get behind. That takes 5 minutes.
