Weaker recruiting chapters won't have a compass of sorts (RIF/Rec/Letter of Support) to even know who to look out for. I think those chapters will be the ones hurt most by this, which is a shame.

This sums it all up.

The next thing to go, of course, will be quota/total. And then either the 3 most popular chapters will be the only ones left standing or else it’ll be a random lottery to make the chapters as indistinguishable from each other as possible and choosing members will disappear.

I can just hear (read?) Titchou telling me that I’m being over the top and reactionary. I certainly hope that she is right.

Ask me what it was like the year that Shorter required that every PNM get a bid.

Oh my, I remember that story. What a nightmare. Wasn't that still when Shorter was all local sororities?

It was the last year. I think that the debacle precipitated the college's demand that all go national.
