What Not to Say to a Released PNM

Chapter are fined $50 for any new member who is below a 2.5 and does not follow through with these requirements. We have questioned/challenged this policy, but it still stands for now. The 2.6 minimum for recruitment may be related to the other policy.

Can anyone who knows more about the MOI comment on this? Is it common for a university or the CPC to put rules in place that violate the MOI or is there more "flexibility" in the agreement than I naively think there is?

It's not common, but sometimes it happens. For example, Tufts guarantees a bid to any woman who signs up for recruitment, per the university's policy. The NPC groups don't like it, but go along with it.
