Why would a PNM drop from recruitment to pursue the new colony?
The chance to be part of a new colony is very exciting for some women. It also gives girls who may not thrive in formal recruitment a chance to join an organization but do it in a way that makes them more comfortable. There are lots of reasons someone might drop.
I can completely understand why someone would prefer to try their luck with a colonization. Especially introverts who might not shine in the chaos that is formal recruitment but would really shine in the small group and individual interviews during a colony recruitment.
Formal recruitment would have killed me. But I love conversation and can interview well. I'd definitely pick the one over the other.
