Thinking of rushing..Terrified of hazing

It's because most of the questions have already been answered by our I/HQs. If an interest doesn't take the time to try to find information on his/her own, it makes it seem as if the person will be a member that requires spoonfeeding at every turn.

Again, to each his/her own. I'd prefer to represent my organization by fulfilling my duties as a member rather than schooling interests on things that they can easily find the answers to.

(Yeah I'm dodging the kitchen.) I can understand why someone comes to ask 'people' rather than read the websites. Particularly since hazing happens despite what our websites say, so asking "what really happens" is pretty legit, IMO, and not spoonfeeding info about our individual orgs.

I figure if I can spend an evening snarking someone I can spare some time to answer a question. Obviously no one should be expected to, because we come here for our own reasons.

Those people should be "real" people as opposed to usernames, but I get what you're saying.

Ideally yes, but since many PNMs hit recruitment in their first weeks of school they may not have the time to make connections and, for example, my mom's experience at XYZ at Large State U are not necessarily relevant to my experience in ABC at Small private U and so on.

I like you, kid. I may just hire you after all

Bolded is likely where much of the disconnect is coming from. I wasn't really thinking about the NPC recruitment model when typing my responses. At least the OP (Hey, OP -- NOW I'm talking about you) can see different sides of the coin.

And hook it up with the vision insurance and you've got a deal lol

Aye, that's why I think some of this is NPC-style vs. NPHC-style perspectives.

Ooh, vision. Hmm ok I can swing it but you're on your own for dental.
