Why doesn't NPC deal with the lack of info?

Oh, sure. Helping out behind the scenes is fine. I wasn't referring to that. I was talking about them coming in and actually INTERACTING WITH PNMs.

I know that chapters who have done this don't do so with the INTENT of deceiving PNMs, but what ends up happening is a kind of unintentional bait & switch, if you will. A PNM may have REALLY clicked with an Out Of Town XYZ, not fully understanding that come Bid Day, those women aren't going to be around.

I know that this happened with three chapters at my alma mater (one of which did ultimately close).

I know that the year I went through recruitment, I found it very off-putting to meet the women from the near-by chapter, because while they could talk about XYZ nationally, they were always referring to specific things they did at their own chapter, which clearly wasn't the case for the chapter at my alma mater.

I know I read a recruitment story from USC where a chapter had done it last year. I also know of another chapter at a different campus that also did it this year. (These were 2 different NPC Orgs)
