No offense to anyone in the south, because hey, if that's what interests them, great, but from what I've learned from this board, there's no way what flies down south would fly up north. So with all due respect, I think saying that the "rest of the nation" needs to learn from what the southern chapters are doing is over-reaching.
The chapters up north operate the way they do because they fit the personalities of the universities and the people that make up their populations. If you tried to come to Penn State back in my day and tell us to start having high school "teas" and have fashion shows and resume review workshops for HS SENIORS to get them ready for rush, you would have been laughed off campus. Or if area alums had come in to tell us that they were doing that and expected to then have input on who got bids to our chapter, that would have stopped at the door, too. We had a healthy, thriving chapter of 110 (limited to total by the university) and not one of us had been "bred" to rush.
The southern method fits the southern schools. I'd wager their methods are extremely region-specific in terms of guaranteed success.
