Some chapters and members of chapters are just not good at remaining subtle when they like a PNM or even just really want to do a good job at recruiting. Unfortunately, if a chapter has smaller numbers, those members can't hide by finding some other way to help out during recruitment. Try not to hold it against an entire chapter, and that doesn't necessarily mean they're desperate.
I'm a HORRIBLE recruiter. I come off as pushy and over eager, and in general am just the world's suckiest recruiter. I realize that.
After my first formal recruitment I was a rho gamma because I figured out that that was the best way I could help all the chapters, including my own. I also had the opportunity during informal to take more of a behind-the-scenes role, plus I was more comfortable because less pressure on PNMs means less pressure on the chapters as well.
In your situation, I guess that little anecdote is neither here nor there. I would agree with other posters that your attitude could use a little adjustment. In my opinion, it's never appropriate to just drop without exploring all the options available to you. You may be surprised.
I will never understand why PNMs have it in their heads that dropping early means they'll have different results next year.
