Senior, I think I do understand your birds analogy. If you have a flock of ragged and relatively unattractive birds, and a few of them want to enhance the overall standing of the flock by adding a few or more of the Prettiest birds and they are allowed to seek out some of those pretty birds invite them to join the flock, then on their initiative the flock will improve. But if birds had formal recruitment the way Panhellenic organizes it, the more beautiful flocks MUST eliminate all prospects except the prettiest birds. If you doubt the mechanics then you have not read the Panhellenic recruitment rules. In practice, under the rules, the more beautiful flocks are prohibited from inviting ALL the potential new birds back. The less beautiful flocks can invite all the participating birds back, but the prettiest birds by design, are skimmed off the top long before recruitment ends. Yes, I’m a free enterprise system like the fraternities, some flocks would disband because they don’t have the initiative to attract new birds. On the other hand, some of the mo ore self-impressed flocks might get lazy if pretty birds were not brought to them by Panhellenic. Laziness might be their downfall.
