Schools that need to open for NPC expansion

[MaggieXi]

Speaking of Elon, I saw this article today. http://www.elonpendulum.com/2014/09/service-sisterhood/

It appears that Greek Life intends to educate PNMs about what sorority is life is really like and they believe this in turn may lower the number of PNMs going through recruitment this winter. I'll be watching this story to find out more, since the article seems to leave a lot out. As an Elon Alum, I'm surprised they are deciding to go this route over expansion since the number of undergrads keeps growing, which is increasing the numbers of PNMs going through recruitment. There are a few groups on campus who have a history of retention issues, but from what I know, those are for other reasons.

Even if the New Information cuts down a bit on the number of registered participants, a greater-than-usual percentage of those then-registered may choose to stick with the program and pledge/initiate. So Elon may discover the same number of initiates from a lower number of PNMs.

Do PNMs at Elon typically receive written info on cost of dues and such? If not, it may be that they're going to do that and this is much ado about nothing. Or it might be an attempt to lower the amount of Greek students couched in "informing" and "helping." Things like this make my side-eye twitch.
