And the positive spin we give our women (so that they'll keep recruiting and having NM classes throughout the year) is that FR really limits who they can bring in to the chapter, they only have the pool of registered women to work with. But COR lets them hand-pick their other NMs from the other 14,000 women on campus who didn't go through FR. Their informal NM classes have always been SPECTACULAR. And with every growth with these fantastic COR classes, they've done better and better in FR. In fact, in some small way, while I can't wait for them to take quota in FR in the near future, I'll miss their ability to handpick additional great women that they KNOW are Alpha Gams.

This really varies with campus. At some campuses, COR is not a viable option for the sororities. They need to get the girls they want to get during formal recruitment. That's why I think it's more important to get the girls and then do tons of member development - at least if COR isn't really an option for you.
