Smaller Groups-how can you make PNMs feel chosen?

^^^This is true. Especially of deferred recruitment when you have been interacting with PNMs since fall. There are bound to be women that you just KNOW you don't want.

I'm not saying totally underinvite to the point that you shoot yourselves in the foot, but don't take on someone you feel strongly about just for the numbers.

Exactly. We cut women who went on to receive bids from other sororities. It wasn't that they were not of sufficient quality to be Greek in general, they just weren't right FOR US.

I say, if your HQ is trying to make you keep everyone, cut who you want to cut anyway...if they are threatening to close you if you do, just tell them "we can either cut these women and keep some selectivity about us and stay open, or we can keep them and end up closed in a year after they tear the chapter apart and we get a rep for taking anything with an ovary. Your choice."
