Although their concerns of swaying any potential new members opinion as an RA may have some sense, overall, using that same logic, you should restrict any member of a highly-visible campus organization, such as student government, orientation leaders, etc. from participating in individual chapter's recruitment. As long as you are aware, as well as any other member regarding recruitment practices and that you can indeed talk to PNMs at any time, just not about joining your specific chapter - strict silence was reversed by NPC 3-4 years ago (the only strict silence period is between bid signing and bid day/announcement). Help your recruitment chairs be aware of the rules and realize that this isn't only hurting your chapter but also in bringing exposure to sorority women who are involved on campus as part of the recruiting process and the leadership opportunities many sorority women take advantage of.

Excellent post, and I'm so glad your campus is up to date with this!
When I see women on here saying "we're not allowed to talk to PNMs at all from May until December" because they mistakenly think that's what deferred rush is I want to scream.
