X, Y, and Z being qualities your chapter values that are measuarable and quantifiable. The idea behind VBMS is that you can actually measure the quality of your pledge class (an in turn, your chapter) because you have a rubric by which you give bids. To make this work your chapter has to agree that a man can't get a bid if he doesn't exemplify a certain number of the qualities defined by the chapter.

This is a really good article about VBMS that probably explains it a lot better than I could: http://www.phiredup.com/index.php?op...p=587&Itemid=2
I'm familiar with Phired Up and I attended a presentation they had on my campus 2 years ago. However, I'm not too sure this kind of recruitment would work very well on my campus and, in particular, my chapter.

We look at character and values when assessing men as it is, but that kind of stuff can also be very subjective.
