Are the problems with recruitment counselors more prevelant at smaller or larger campuses?
I rushed at a small lib/arts school with only for NPC sororites on campus. We all knew each other, had friends in the houses, and didnt' have to worry about "too" much dirty rushing.
Some of the things my school did was to have rotating officers on Panhell. Every four years, your house was President of panhell. Also, nominees for recruitment counselors were made by the individual chapters, and then voted on by all the chapters. For example, three sisters from my house would volunteer to be Rho Chi's, and the other three houses had to vote on who the two would be. This allowed the most "greek" women to be choosen, not the best KD or ABC/XYZ.
As for telling PNM's about house reputations, we embraced ours and laughed it off. The reputations for the four houses were so outdated that they were humorous. There was never any problem with that.
The most important part of recruitment is retention- how many girls go greek. Whether it is your house or hte house down the street, it doesn't matter as long as it provides a positive impact on Greeks everywhere.
Just my thoughts ont he matter.
