You don't rank the women every day. You just turn in a list with who you want to ask back. You get a number, say 130, and you can invite back that many women. You don't rank the PNMs until the rank list after pref. Your chapter may keep a running rank, but the RFM is not privy to that information throughout the week. The flex list is useful because the RFM can then pare down that list or add to it if needed.

Thank you everyone for answering. This is so interesting!

Hope someone out there is an ICS superuser. I've not ever touched it. If it is point and click, look for a pull down menu that lists "Export" and "Import" Some newer software has an elaborate help function.

Is the company that makes ICS? Interactive Collegiate Solutions Maybe you could ask one of their support staff.

Yup, that's the company. We get training every year via Panhellenic as most of the members have never used it before. If there is a way to upload anything, I don't believe it's an intentional part of the design. I think it would be more of a hack.

Our electronic devices are the members own smart phones. It will be out first year. We had to upgrade our connection to the internet and the Wifi capacity in order to be ready for the peak volume.

Still, I think a text delimited spreadsheet should be upload-able. Just don't know how you would get one in the first place. Still there are others doing it, so maybe it is possible for you?

Wow. How times have changed! Voting electronically has to strip HOURS off the total process. And I guess it's not too much to expect each member to have a smart phone

Our larger chapters have used this. I can't go into details obviously, but it really is amazing, as long as you have it set up and test it out before they're all sitting there.

We voted with them at Convention last year - we call them clickers. It's a hand held device configured with yes/no for the vote on an individual. Some groups also use a hand held scanner.

Yes, we have something like this. We decided against using phones because we didn't want everyone to have their phones out during MS.

Titchou · #12 07-26-2013, 10:04 AM

Yes - using the cell phones could be a problem!

MaryPoppins · #13 07-27-2013, 11:06 AM

Also, there is a cell phone signal jammer that you can install if the young ladies don't have enough restraint.

We figured out that 3/4 of the women already had iclickers for class. So we are going to try to buy a few more and borrow a base to use those this year
