I know that many campuses are home exclusively to national organizations, and conversely know of several campuses that only have local organizations; however, I know there are also many colleges (like my own) that offer bother types of organizations to PNMs.
Anyone here who is on a "mixed" campus where they recruit formally along side national organizations:
-Do you see your organization as at a disadvantage compared to national GLOs?
-Do you find that many PNMs write off your organization immediately when they hear you are local, in favor of a national org?
-If you are in a community where the national organizations are much larger membership-wise than the locals and therefore take larger NM classes, how do you overcome that obstacle during recruitment?
Basically, even though my campus is almost completely evenly divided between the number of nationals and locals, the nationals are significantly larger than the locals, and take significantly more NMs; many PNMs only consider the national GLOs during recruitment (we have minimally structured recruitment here, so they can basically go see whomever they like each night) and so we never even see many of the girls that we would like to consider for our organizations. Does anyone have similar experiences on their campus? How did you deal with these challenges?
