Oh, I totally agree! So much about recruitment has changed that it has left everyone with their heads spinning a bit. Judging from the bits and pieces posted here, it sounds like some things may vary greatly from GLO to GLO with regard to MS. Techniques and procedures vary.
But no matter how you explain it to new members or old ones, it is confusing. And if you are saying you liked some members
more than others, that is just a euphimism(sp). And these women know that. (not saying you can change it, nor should you. Just saying that is the root of the emotional upheaval)
Honestly, like so many other things in the world, it takes education, education, education. No one ever pays attention to the details of something until it pertains to their own lives - and recruitment is no different.
Our GLOs can do a lot to help themselves by focusing heavily on this aspect of recruitment with alumnae. Maybe they need to go into some of these more competitive regions and hold workshops or something. And, active
chapters need to communicate each spring or summer with those alum groups that are primarily associated with that chapter. I do know that goes on at some chapters and helps.
Ahh, recruitment. Gotta love it!
