This is a very frustrating issue for me. At Penn State, you can only be a Pi Chi if you yourself have been through formal recruitment as a PNM. This was frustrating for me because while I did not go through the process as a PNM, I have as a sister and I know for a fact that I understand a lot of the Green Book rules better than most of the Pi Chis that were chosen. I know this because I ended up explaining a lot of the rules to the Pi Chis from my own sorority (some who did not truly understand the fact that if you put a sorority down on your MRABA card, you have to be willing to accept a bid from them). If the sisters themselves cannot understand it, how can they be expected to make a hyped up 18 year old PNM get it?
In some ways, I get it. Recruitment is a hectic week and no I couldn't get exactly where a PNM was coming from in some ways. But it comes down to this-- when you're looking for a Pi Chi, are you looking for more of the buddy-buddy aspects, or are you looking for women who truly understand and can explain vital information?
