Rudest PNM You Had to Deal With

One would hope the friends would gain interest.

Part of it might have to do with the way our rush is structured. We deliver flyers or brochures to students who have taken the minimum number of chemistry courses required for membership. There's no formal registration; PNMs come to events whenever they feel like it and they're added to the rush list. Sometimes a person's lack of interest isn't apparent and they may still be offered a bid if there isn't a solid case against them.

To my knowledge, we haven't told anyone not to come back during the past few years. Thanks for bringing that point up; I'll have to ask about that in case it comes up in Spring Rush.

Sometimes having friends who are actives does raise interest. On the other hand if the PNM doesn't feel AXS is for them they still have friends in chapter who can recommend them. Occasionally an active does hear a PNM talking about their lack of interest which helps to weed them out. I guess it's kind of like telling those going through NPC Recruitment not to engage in tent talk just in case someone overhears (among other reasons).
