Young Lady prefs Mom/Older Sister's house along with a second house. Mom and Older Sister keep their mouths shut and let Young Lady make own decisions. Young Lady joins Other House. Other House feels like they stole a PNM since the odds were stacked against them going into recruitment.

But that's not really stealing. I mean, it's great that you got a member whose family is already highly involved and understands how recruitment works, it bodes well for a member who will continue to be a great lifelong member, but that's not stealing. It's letting recruitment work for the PNM, which I think is a great thing.
I'm talking about when women actively try to affect the outcome of a PNM's recruitment by talking smack on other groups, or by (in the case of Carnation's story) running up to a new member ON BID DAY and convincing her to switch. That's really deplorable.
I'm not a huge fan of filing recruitment infractions (because holy crap, it gets petty), but I think in cases of bid promising, catty behavior toward other groups displayed by members, etc., they are fully warranted because they DO affect the outcome of recruitment for a PNM, and often it's not just the "other" chapter that gets screwed, it ends up screwing either the PNM in question or another PNM.
