Y'all may be missing the point of what these activities are about if, in fact, anyone is doing the things described. It's not desperate as much as it is truly recruiting girls versus waiting to take the share you'd just end up with by rushing during formal.
Especially at schools where recruitment is really early in the year, rushing folks you know already, assuming you do it within the regulations of the PC at your campus, means that you are likely to get a pledge class that includes the new members that you really wanted in the pool of total girls.
Now, when you get into the groups that take a whole pledge class this way, I think it's lame because they will miss out of the girls from out of state or who decided to rush late. But to make sure that the really great hometown girls who you already know are coming to Alabama are likely to feel at home in your group, early allowable contact seems like a great tool.
And I think assuming that if the groups didn't do this stuff, that it would level the playing field for other PNM is probably mistaken. The chapters would still know who they wanted in advance of recruitment; they just wouldn't be hosting group events. Folks just need to know this stuff goes on at to what degree at which groups, so if they haven't been highly recruited, they are more likely to be realistic about their recruitment experience.
