It's interesting that you say that attempting colony recruitment is easier than participating in recruitment with existing chapters.

I always thought that colony recruitment would be more intimidating since the PNMs participating are specifically looking to join THAT sorority. That, and most of the time, you're doing an INTERVIEW with national officers and consultants. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of what would be more difficult though.

Sometimes it's easier to talk with an adult than it is someone in your peer group. Also, the national reps aren't going to be swayed by things like "OMG Tim Tebow is her cousin! OMG she works at the Coach store and gets a 50% discount!" which, let's not kid ourselves, I'm sure sometimes goes further than it should in rush.

Also - I kind of think that people knowing you're there to join that sorority would take some of the pressure off in the manner of "how enthusiastic should I be?" You don't have to let the people know how interested you are in their group. If you weren't you wouldn't be there. Versus formal rush parties that you "have to" go to.

I know I could have just removed the entire sentence, but I would have preferred to leave it visible, but obvious to the reader that a mistake was made and caught.
