But, please let me know if I’m wrong. I’m trying to understand:
The nature of recruitment is the mutual selection and the importance of “fit” in a chapter, right? So naturally, there will always be legacies who will not end up in their legacy chapter(s), based on fit or numbers, but there will be plenty that do, because the chapter wanted them and they wanted the chapter. I’m assuming in the past the legacies was put on the top of the bid list after Pref, even if the chapter loved other PNM’s more.
So all this is to ask (and again, I’m just trying to understand) if a chapter loves a PNM, regardless of her legacy status, isn’t that who they would ultimately want on the top of their bid list? If the legacy is a great fit, it seems like she would be extended a bid either way. Shouldn’t the individual chapters be able to make those choices? |
If a chapter is doing recruitment right, they believe every one of the women coming to their preference parties will be a good fit and they love them. Now, comparably there may be objective differences between two PNMs, it it's not like they're going to have a bunch of 2.5 GPA PNMs when their minimum GPA is a 3.3. So not all PNMs are created equal and legacy status is one of those things that under most policies would give a woman an extra advantage, just like, for instance, a 4.0 GPA may add an extra advantage to a PNM for a super academically oriented chapters.
